A poured concrete retaining wall is generally constructed to help provide lateral support for sloping soil. Without a retaining wall, the soil would collapse and fill the area in front the wall. Once the concrete is poured and the retaining wall is complete, the concrete can be left natural, stamped with patterns and color or be covered with other natural materials such as brick or stone.
Denver’s homes can have multiple elevations in both the front and back yard as well as steep slopes that makes landscaping a challenge.
Retaining walls serve both functional and esthetic purposes for your Denver home’s landscaping. Functionally, they are designed and installed to help restrain soil that would otherwise slump and erode in sloped areas of your landscape. This can be done as a single wall or a group of terraced walls.
Retaining walls are not just for sloped property. The appearance of flat property can be dramatically changed by adding multiple elevations to the yard creating new areas for seating, plantings and entertaining.
