Retaining Walls - Tigard, OR
Retaining walls are an extremely functional way to turn a sloped landscape into a usable area of flat land. Not only that, if built correctly, retaining walls are beautiful structures in and of themselves and can add fantastic style to any yard. Natural Landscape and Irrigation can help you install the retaining wall that will create a beautiful new addition to your property.
Uses:
- It decrease the slopes on the property in order to control erosion.
- It will protect a home's foundation or other structures in the cases where the home is on a hill
- Flattening ground and adding a retaining wall can allow room for a patio area where a nonfictional slope used to exist
- Create raised beds for landscaping that makes it much simpler to mow, trim around, and provide perfect drainage for all your flowers
Materials:
- Wood timbers - most affordable but also the weakest
- Interlocking block systems - Provides a very formal and elegant look
- Poured concrete - very popular choice and can also be veneered with many different materials
- Natural rock - most expensive, requires the most skill but also widely considered the most attractive option
Considerations:
Regardless of material used, a drainage system is very important and will serve a role in protecting the retaining wall and property from erosion or fault lines. Proper design and grading is always necessary. For walls past a certain height, certain city codes (Tigard's permit requirements) must be followed and a permit may be necessary.
