What are the Benefits of Retaining Walls into Your Albuquerque Landscaping?
In Albuquerque’s rough, diverse topography, aesthetic landscape design becomes one of function and durability.
If you are faced with a property that is on a slope, has erosion concerns, or if you simply want to have an awesome multi-tiered set of garden beds, a retaining wall can be an incredibly practical and beautiful option.
ASAP Sands Outdoor Services constructs durable, beautiful retaining walls that complement and enhance outdoor spaces in Albuquerque and the surrounding areas.
What Is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall is a landscape structure used to restrain soil and prevent erosion. These walls are often employed to deal with grade changes, water runoff, or landscaping on a site with an uneven grade.
Why We Recommend Retaining Walls for Albuquerque Homes
Managing Sloped Properties
Albuquerque is also known for elevation change. Retaining walls are beneficial for:
- Hill side stabilization
- Make flat spaces for patios or gardens
- Control of soil shifting, sliding and landslipping
- Controlling Erosion & Water Flow
With a climate that has dry spells — and sudden down pours – retaining walls:
- Keep soil in place
- Redirect runoff away from foundations and outdoor living areas
- Minimize property damage caused by erosion
Functional Benefits of Retaining Walls
Expanded Usable Space
Retaining walls convert an angled or uneven yard into flat usable spaces for planting, seating or recreation.
Property Protection
Walls limit the potential for soil erosion and pooling of water, particularly in proximity to a home, garage or outdoor structure.
Structural Support
When constructed by a professional, a retaining wall will provide essential support in a situation where there is a drop in elevation or in the case of loose soil.
