A retaining wall frequently serves the purpose of holding back earth in a slope so that you can have more usable outdoor space.
When the patio is recessed into a lower space than the walkway, a retaining wall can offer exceptional support.
The retaining wall can be an ideal addition to your outdoor dining space design as it adds more privacy and coziness to your space as you eat. The retaining wall can also indicate a new outdoor space so your guests can see that one area is for relaxing while the other is for dining.
This visual cue can be subtle but effective when indicating where the dining will be, whether for seated meals or a casual buffet.
The top of the retaining wall can be a flat granite that allows for setting up a small drink and snack station, or it can provide additional seating. A retaining wall can give your outdoor diving space a finished look and feel.
Retaining walls can be connected with mortar and be made of natural stone or concrete, and follow an intricate pattern or a uniform, stacked appearance. Whatever the design, the stone wall will be built to last many years. When your landscapers choose a light stacked stone for the retaining wall, this can blend the wall with the edging chosen for the nearby walkway.
A retaining wall can also create more outdoor space by making room for more shrubs and seasonal flowers.
“We have worked with Landscape Architecture for years and they have done a wonderful job on both landscaping design and creation. They even came in on time and under budget on the last project! Joe and his crew are very easy to work with. We would recommend them to anyone.”
