Landscape & Retaining Walls
Retaining Wall Landscaping Ideas
Whether for stylish definition or supporting heavy loads, a well-designed retaining wall can add style to your outdoor environment. A garden wall can make the most of your space, providing structural support for soils, preventing erosion, and increasing the usable area of sloped terrain. With various choices in stone, brick, and decor such as accent bands and coping styles, a retaining wall can also be a great choice to accent your spaces. Landscape Management Group can help you utilize walls in a multitude of ways, whether facing structural terrain challenges or adding style and continuity to your outdoor look and feel.
1. Landscape Wall Function
What purpose does your landscape wall serve?
Retaining walls can help solve some of the biggest challenges when working with uneven terrain, but they can also provide a plethora of design opportunities such as defining spaces, accenting structures, and creating unique planting areas. For form or function, a well-designed garden wall is a powerful addition to any outdoor space.
Retaining Walls
The first thing that must be considered is whether your wall is on a hill and will be acting as a ‘retaining wall’. Retaining walls hold back soil from a sloped area, preventing erosion and can even help with water flow. Retaining walls can add depth to your overall landscape design project for a beautiful result.
Decorative Walls
With aesthetic choices in material, such as brick or stone, a decorative landscape wall can be used to define the separation of spaces, or to create a multi-layered feel for planting areas.
Walls for Outdoor Seating
Cozy and timeless, a seating wall creates built-in comfort that is reliable and ever-lasting. A beautiful addition to the functionality of your outdoor space.
Frame an Outdoor Kitchen
Retaining walls can be built to frame your grill and define an outdoor kitchen area. Create a stunning space that carries your outdoor aesthetic throughout.
Walls for Pillars
Adding matching walls to your standing pillars can add depth and consistency to your outdoor theme. Accent bands and beautiful coping can turn a pillar into a beautiful design element.
Walls around Fire Pits
The fire pit is often your centerpiece feature and a stylish wall design can provide both style and safety. Our professionals can help you accent your fire pit with garden wall decor that fits your space and creates a lasting impression.
Straight or Curved Walls?
Choose between a straight or curved wall that best suits the look and feel of your space. Our experts can help you make the right decision, as the type of blocks that can be used is defined by whether your wall is straight or curved.
2. Landscape Wall Stones
Choose your Landscape Wall Stone Style
Weathered and natural, or modern and precise, there are endless options when it comes to your garden wall stone style. Carefully consider the feel that you want your outdoor oasis to have, and incorporate your design elements throughout. Landscape Management Group’s experts can carefully guide you through the considerations necessary to create retaining walls that compliment your space, accent your style, and withstand the test of time.
What is Coping?
Coping is a covering on top of a wall using stone, bricks, terracotta, or concrete. Coping is typically rounded and weathered to protect the wall from rain and bad weather. Coping can also act as a decorative element or to provide more comfortable seating. Landscape Management Group’s coping options include Bullnose Coping, which is rounded and popular because it is nice to sit on. Bullnose is considered universal coping which means it can be used with most wall blocks. We also offer Indiana Limestone for wall coping.
Dimensional Coping
Rosetta Coping is considered dimensional coping which looks more natural using larger stacked stones with a rougher stone texture.
