With greeneries like the Highland Nursery, Gerten’s, and Tonkadale Greenhouses, there’s no denying that the Twin Cities are rich in trees, flowers, shrubs, and all things green. It has also inspired many locals to create their mini versions of these landscapes.

What Are the Benefits of Retaining Wall Installation?

Functional addition to your home. When built properly, a retaining wall can withstand any pressure or weight. It can hold back soil or water for a long time without needing too much maintenance. These walls can also help you save space and achieve your landscaping dreams.

Low maintenance and durable. As mentioned, these walls need little to no maintenance since they are made of durable materials. This means you don’t have to spend time or money repeatedly replacing or repairing your wall.

Prevents soil erosion. Soil erosion can cause sinkholes, wash away fertilizers and ultimately ruin your garden. You’ll end up spending money on damage control or repair. A retaining wall spares you from costly damages by reducing the chance of erosion.

Eco-friendly. Retaining walls do not hurt the earth, making it an environmentally-friendly option. These block walls reduce stormwater runoff and cause minimal disruption to the vegetation. Most of them are also made of sustainable materials that easily blend with the natural surroundings. Plus, they last longer and are friendlier to your budget.

FAQs

How Deep Do Retaining Walls Need to Be?

In general, the rule is to bury one-eight of the wall’s height. So, for example, if your retaining wall is 40 inches tall (3.33 feet), the wall must be buried five inches below the soil level. Three inches below this level, you can add your gravel base.

How Tall Should a Retaining Wall Be?

Ideally, a retaining wall should stand at around five feet, but on average, most retaining walls are between three and four feet. This is the optimal height since the wall will not require anchors or other pricey installations.
