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.
