What Can You Expect from Your New Retaining Wall?
Retaining walls are typically thought of as just a structural tool that holds back soil, but they can also be used to create unique outdoor living spaces that serve a variety of purposes. Every yard is different, so Mark Hoer Landscaping does a 1-on-1 consultation with each of our clients, letting us come up with a design that is unique to your space and works with your lifestyle.

- Design – Retaining walls are very versatile, making them a great design feature. They can be made out of a wide variety of bricks or natural stones, so they’ll look great with any home. They also provide a way to give your property different levels, giving it some design elements unique to your home and personal style.
- Structure – In addition to looking great and holding back the soil of different elements of your yard, such as gardens and hillsides, retaining walls give your yard some structure. By surrounding your gardens and patios with a wall, you’re clearly defining what the space was meant for and making it feel more like an extension of your home rather than just a place to put a table and grill.
- Seating – Not only does a retaining wall make for great design and space separation, but it can act as a functional space for outdoor seating! A short wall around your patio can double as extra seating for family and friends. Rather than fight with inconvenient porch furniture, you have seats built right into your landscape.
Build Your Retaining Walls Anywhere!
Because you want your retaining wall to give your yard’s soil some structure, you usually have an idea of where you’ll want your wall to go. However, besides their function, retaining walls look great just about anywhere! Some examples of where retaining walls can complement the beauty of your yard include:
- Gardens
- Walkways
- Patios
- Stairways
- Driveways
