3 Things You Must Know About Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is a vertical, self-supporting structure . It can be constructed from concrete, durable wood, masonry or other materials and is designed to resist displacement of soil or other materials. 

Retaining walls are usually thought of as utilitarian and for merely holding back soil. You can also use them to create beautiful outdoor living spaces to create multi-use spaces.
 
These walls also don't have to be perfectly straight. Add a curve to dress up the design while also adding a little more texture to your landscape. You can use a garden hose or large rope to set the layout of the curve, then use a shovel to cut through the soil to follow the curve.
 
Smaller retaining walls, less than four feet, can be easily planned and created without worrying too much about structure. Larger walls may need the help of a Retaining Walls professional in Mission Viejo CA. Also, be sure to check with local codes before starting one more than four feet tall.
