Our team is highly trained and experienced in installing functional and decorative retaining walls for residential and commercial properties in East Lansing, Okemos, and Haslett, MO.
What is the difference between functional and decorative retaining walls?
Each style of retaining wall serves a different purpose based on your landscape needs.
Functional retaining walls can be aesthetically pleasing, but the main reason for installing them is to:
- Limit the level of soil erosion - Soil is easily displaced by excessive wind and rain. In some cases, for properties built on an incline or sloped area, soil erosion could even cause a mudslide.
- Help reduce flooding issues - Retaining walls will help redirect water flow and protect properties from water damage.
- Add more usable space - Installing a retaining wall allows you to better utilize your unused landscape space. You can segment off different sections of your property or have a terraced retaining wall suitable for plantings!
Decorative retaining walls can make a property look sophisticated. Some landscapes even have several short, tiered walls as a way to add depth and visual texture. They're also a great option for raised landscape beds and as a seating area around a fire pit or patio!
We will design and install a retaining wall made from boulders, flat stacked stone, and more!
We build retaining walls with highly durable materials so your structure will last for years. Retaining walls themselves require little to no maintenance. Once it's installed, there's nothing else that you'll have to worry about!
Your dry stone wall can be built using any of these materials:
- Boulders - Just like other stacked stone walls, boulder retaining walls have the advantage of providing natural drainage. The boulders come in a variety of sizes and will affect the appearance and functionality of the wall.
- Flat stacked stone - Freely stacked stone allows water to pass freely through the joints of the wall and are less susceptible to shifting and cracking. Installing a flat stone wall is also the fastest and easiest option for many property owners.
- Riprap rock - The term for this material is used to describe stones that are used to build an erosion-resistant shoreline. These seawalls consist of rocks ranging from 6 to 30 inches and include a variety of stones like granite and fieldstone. We prefer using limestone rocks because they won't be impacted by water and erosion as much as other sedimentary materials.
