Retaining Walls
If you have slopes or highly graded land in the outdoor spaces of your property, you may find it very challenging to get basic features such as an outdoor kitchen or a driveway and pathways etc. installed. In many instances, the only option you are left with is to excavate the land before you get these features built. But that leaves a lot of the soil and rocks exposed and can lead to a small landslide in your garden and yard. In these situations, building retaining walls is the best solution.Terra Designs and Creations is a well-established company that provides excellent retaining wall installation services to customers in Buford, Duluth, Johns Creek, Snellville and Lawrenceville. They also serve customers in and around Alpharetta, Cumming, Gainesville, Roswell as well as Jefferson.
Retaining Wall Blocks
Most landscapers recommend the use of retaining wall blocks for this structure. These are made of concrete and have a modular design. This makes the installation easy and the wall is very resilient too. You can choose to get .natural stone or brick veneer installed on the outer surfaces of these walls to enhance their aesthetic appeal.
Concrete Blocks
These blocks are very strong and resilient and they provide your landscaping the support it needs. These are modular blocks and you can build retaining walls of any length and height using them. If you find the concrete surfaces very bland, you can get these clad with brick or natural stone veneers. This lends them a very dramatic look.
Building A Retaining Wall
Constructing a retaining wall is a very specialized job and it’s important to hire expert masons for it. These are specially-engineered walls and they have to be installed well. That is the only way they would be able to provide support to the landscaping and last for a number of years without any trouble.
Retaining Wall Design
Your landscape designer will ensure that the design of the retaining wall complements the appearance of the rest of the features in the landscaping. This will help create a very cohesive look on your property. For instance, if you have a lot of brick features in your garden or yard, they may recommend that you get brick veneer installed on the surfaces of the retaining wall.
Block Wall
Block walls are being increasingly used in landscaping projects because the construction becomes very easy and the structure is extremely long-lasting and strong and adds to the integrity of the landscaping. It’s important that high grade materials and workmanship be used in the block wall construction and this will ensure the longevity of the feature. Hire experienced landscapers for the job and they will deploy experienced masons in the work.
The quality of the retaining walls built in your project depends on the expertise of the professionals that handle the project for you. That’s why you should hire the services of a company like Terra Designs and Creations for the job that would be able to provide custom solutions at cost-effective pricing.
