Retaining Wall Contractors Northbrook

Landscaping can be difficult depending on your property’s size & different elevations. Retaining walls are an easy and effective method of leveling an area without raising the entire yard. Retaining walls need to be strong but flexible enough to withstand the changes in weather and temperatures over the years.

There are certain things you should know when it comes to deciding whether to add a retaining wall to your yard:

1. Design – You can incorporate your retaining wall into different landscape structures, and make it fit into your current landscaping plan. You can also include a variety of other stones, so your retaining can be the focal point of your yard.
2. Manufactured Blocks are Faster – Using manufactured blocks for your retaining wall will make the installation quicker and smoother. A1 Contractors Inc. will work with you to determine the best materials to construct your retaining wall and which options will work best with your landscaping design.
3. Plan For Drainage – As mentioned, a retaining wall can level your yard and provide you protection from water reaching your home. As you are thinking about where you want your retaining wall to go, think about draining and where water will flow due to you adding a retaining wall to your yard.
4. Height – Depending on the size of the retaining wall, you might want to consider what materials you use. Smaller retaining walls can easily be assimilated into a lawn. However, larger walls might require an engineer on-site to help plan. From a lower grade, you want to gradually step up to the yard using a method called terracing. A1 Contractors Inc. is ready to help you determine what size retaining wall your yard will need in Northbrook, Illinois.
