Landscaping - Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are an integral part of many landscapes. Miller Nursery's landscape designer, Craig Westfield, is our resident expert on designing retaining walls.

So, why build a wall? Most walls are built for slope management and drainage control. Many homes require a retaining wall around the foundation to create a level planting surface. But walls can also be built for aesthetic purposes. An island or berm can be a wonderful perennial garden and add great value to the landscape.

There are a number of factors when choosing what kind of material to build your retaining walls out of. Aesthetics is the first consideration. It is very important to match the material with the house. Each homeowner has a different opinion of what they want. That is probably the most important consideration, the customer must feel comfortable with the material selection. Other considerations are cost and how long the wall will last.
