Retaining Walls

What Is a Retaining Wall and Why Do You Need One in Your Yard?

If your Fishers yard is sloped or has trouble with erosion, a retaining wall could be your new best friend. At The Noll Landscape Group, we recommend a retaining wall as a smart solution for a variety of landscape design challenges. Let’s take a look at why you would need one in your yard.

What Exactly Is a Retaining Wall?

A retaining wall is much more than just a garden border; it’s a strong structure built on your property to keep soil where it belongs or direct water where you want it to go. You’ll find them made from everything from classic stone and natural wood to sleek concrete blocks or beautiful brick. The right choice comes down to your home’s style and your own preferences.

Why Would You Need a Retaining Wall?

If you have any of the following in your yard, a retaining wall might be just what you need:

  • Steep slopes or uneven ground where soil tends to wash away in storms

  • Garden beds that would look better on a level surface

  • Backyards with sudden drop-offs near patios or pools

  • Space limitations that require extra seating areas for entertaining

  • Driveways or walkways that need a little protection from shifting earth

  • A need to direct rainwater safely away from patios or foundations

You may also consider a retaining wall to highlight features like a pool or driveway, add interest to your landscape design, or create seating around patios or fire pits.
