Retaining Walls: The Perfect Winter Upgrade
Retaining walls are the perfect winter upgrade. With routine lawn services ending, this is the perfect time to complete the outdoor project you’ve been thinking about! Regular lawn maintenance comes to halt when winter weather approaches and the ground is ready for a major overhaul. Now is the right time to install those retaining walls you’ve been needing or dreaming of.
Retaining walls can be a major change to your property, and bring additional curbside appeal and instant exterior value to your home. There are many different reasons to install retaining walls, from redirecting water flow, to correcting a steep slope, or to defining your outdoor living spaces decoratively.
In fact, retaining walls can be used to level or enclose an area for a decorative garden as well! They are the ideal way to create an area definition with landscape accents and elevation transitions. Our outdoor specialists use various natural stone and manufactured blocks to provide distinctive beauty and remarkable strength.
Hand stacked stone including 14’ limestone comes in a variety of thickness, length, and color options for a customized look. Large block walls with block seats are also an option to include in your retaining wall feature. Block seats instantly add charm and built-in seating for you and your guests, saving you money on costly outdoor furniture.
These are all exceptional upgrades to make during the cold months since they are able to be done (almost) regardless of the weather. Knocking out these projects over the winter leaves the spring and summer months to focus on turf and foliage upkeep.
