Stone Edge Landscaping, LLC is a full-service landscaping company serving the greater Janesville, WI area including Rock, Dane, Jefferson, and Walworth Counties. Retaining wall landscaping has several useful incentives from holding back soil, fixing a severe slope, controlling erosion to creating usable living space. Sometimes a low retaining wall is a perfect choice, where we can plant beds to help add some pizzaz to an otherwise flat part of the yard.

 

Our retaining wall landscaping experts have several years of experience and knowledge in retaining wall design to ensure your investment will last for years without any problems. An improperly built retaining wall can either lean, crack, or bulge, where all can result into an eyesore and a costly headache to repair.

 

There are 4 major areas to a retaining wall landscaping project. One, is the base on which the retaining wall is built upon. The base should be set below ground level and the taller the retaining wall is the lower the ground level should be set. A good base consists of compacted soil, plus compacted sand, and gravel. Two, a retaining wall landscaping design needs to have a properly compacted backfill behind the wall. Three, since most retaining walls are impenetrable its then crucial to allow for efficient, proper drainage. Four, it is important to know the height of the retaining wall, so we can determine its load bearing limit and how much extra will be needed to reinforce. Residential retaining wall landscaping is typically built from 3-4 feet high, which can provide excellent strength without adding additional reinforcements.
