Retaining Walls
There are three basic types of retaining walls, load bearing walls, decorative walls, & stone walls.
These are the basic differences between the three types of retaining walls:
Load Bearing Retaining Walls
Decorative Retaining Walls
Decorative retaining walls contribute to the beauty of your home and landscape. Decorative retaining walls are primarily used for visual effect in the landscape design and complement other landscape elements such as plants and pavers. Decorative retaining walls are more compatible with human activity and can be adapted to many practical uses.
They can be used as a bench, to create pillars, to create a base for a fence, to accent elements in the surrounding landscape, or create a system of terraces giving you many planting and landscaping opportunities.
Stone Retaining Walls
Natural stone should be considered on every retaining wall. With options like Fieldstone, River stone or boulder walls, natural stone adds a visual appeal like no other.
The team at Briggs Landscape will discuss the best options in natural stone walls and review the advantages and disadvantages of using a mother nature designed product.
