Modern or Classic?

When people think about stone retaining walls, they tend to think of stone blocks fit together without mortar – the classic way of building a stone retaining wall. These walls look fabulous, obviously, but it isn’t the only route you can take. We have helped build stone retaining walls that have a more modern aesthetic too – and the results are equally impressive if our customers are to be believed!

Physical Excellence

 The principal reason that stone is such a popular material for retaining wall construction is the aesthetic that it brings to the table – people simply love the character it helps instill – but that’s not the only reason you might make this choice. Whether you go for limestone, sandstone, granite, or another variety of stone entirely, you’re going to receive physical excellence. These enduring materials will give you an outstanding outcome that offers utility through the ages.

Defining Your Landscape

People think of retaining walls as a way to add practical strength to a site, as they bear the weight of the earth that they’re holding back. This can help you level out uneven ground and give yourself more useable terrain, which is incredibly helpful. Yet, there’s more utility there than you might have realized. Retaining walls are a fantastically effective method for defining and structuring your landscape. The retaining wall will act as a border. It might seem like this would place limits on your landscape, but, instead, it makes the space feel larger. With a landscape split into subsections, you can more easily add functionality and personality to the area. 

Delivering Character

When we adorn our homes with decorations and our yards with flowers, plants, and furniture, we add character to the property – our character. We’re putting some of our personality, our tastes and preferences, into the site. Some people care about this type of thing more than others, but the bottom line is that, if you want to add character to your yard, stone is an excellent material option. While some materials might feel a little more soulless, stone blocks can be used in such a way that it feels distinctively you. With unequaled visual quality, stone retaining walls are the premier way to add character to the site.
