Custom Retaining Wall in Charlotte, NC
The Challenge
This Charlotte, NC homeowner needed an outdoor space that solved a specific problem — drainage, sloped grading, an underused yard, or a transition between indoor and outdoor living — without compromising the look of the home. Our team scoped the site, identified the constraints, and proposed a design built around the way the family actually uses the space.
The Design & Material Selection
For this project we specified premium hardscape materials, chosen for durability in Charlotte's freeze-thaw cycles and for the way the color and texture sit against the home's existing architecture. The layout was drawn to match the home's sight lines, the lawn's natural grade, and the way the family moves between the house, patio, and yard.
The Final Result
Retaining Walls – Outdoor Living Tip of the Day
The Project
Installed in York, South Carolina, this Belgard Sheffield Diamond 9D retaining wall raised the steep slope in the backyard. We used 67 stone, plenty of dirt to change the grade, and installed the proper drainage. In addition, the customer will be installing a fence soon. Furthermore, we reused the existing Bermuda sod that was recently laid to help the customer save money.
The Cure to Steep Slopes
Retaining walls are structures that have serve many different functions for residential homeowners. They can be used to help prevent soil erosion, stabilizing slopes, increase home value and also for aesthetic appeal. In order to build a retaining wall it takes careful planning and knowledge to construct a long lasting wall. At Mr. Outdoor Living® we have the knowledge and experience to help design and construct a retaining wall to suit all of our clients needs.
If your yard has steep slopes or you are trying to prevent soil erosion, looking into a retaining wall could help your property both functionally and aesthetically. Retaining walls fight against eroding surfaces by preventing rainwater from washing off the soil on your land. Steep slopes also create a challenge since it leads to the soil moving downward. Retaining walls can prevent the soil from sliding down and also adding a visually appealing touch to your landscape. Learn more here.
