RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are an attractive and functional way to display the outdoors with creative design adding beauty and aesthetic appeal to your outdoor space.
A colorful garden is visually appealing
Displaying the outdoors can be a challenge for many homeowners. A simple solution is the installation of a retaining wall. A colorful garden highlighted by natural stone creates a visually appealing landscape design. Our design experts can assist you in bringing the outdoors to a scene of beauty. A wide variety of brick and stone exist from which to choose to ensure your outdoor vision is a success.
Outdoor lighting makes a striking display at night
Retaining walls are also an attractive and functional way to level out a sloped yard, prevent soil erosion, disguise a building’s foundation, add decorative planters or built-in seating to your property. Retaining walls can serve to mark the entrance to your property as a gateway or lining the driveway or walkway to your home. Outdoor lighting can be built into most retaining walls for enjoying your hardscape at night. An effective retaining wall design takes into account drainage, necessary strength, as well as the overall harmony of your landscape.
Secure your “man grill” and mark your territory
At RA Building & Design, we design custom retaining walls that will augment the natural beauty of your home. Our retaining wall design experts draw upon decades of experience working with a variety of styles and materials, including natural stone, interlocking block, brick, or poured concrete.
Once the retaining wall design is complete, our team will complete the project using the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship. We go to great lengths to ensure our retaining walls are solidly constructed with proper drainage, so you can enjoy a problem-free landscape for years to come.
