Why Proper Retaining Wall Installation is Important

Whether your yard is sloped and requires retaining walls to maintain the integrity of your backyard or you’d like to incorporate them as complementing architectural features to your patio, landscape, and outdoor living space, there is a science to constructing them correctly.

Always work with a certified and experienced pro, like Outdoor Innovations, for precise installation. Improper water drainage or shifting soil can cause your retaining wall to bow or burst and can ruin the whole of your landscape.

Our team carefully studies your property’s slope, soil integrity, and water management because each of these factors not only plays an important role in how your retaining wall should be designed, but also in how your whole landscape should be layed out.
