How Functional or Decorative Retaining Walls Can Change Your Property

If you have a sloped or hilly property, then adding in functional retaining walls could provide immense benefits. Sometimes, it can be difficult to use a lot of your yard, but a retaining wall can help level out the area and give you more usable space.

Retaining walls also aid in correcting drainage problems. For example, if you have issues with water pooling around the outside of your home, you can have a retaining wall installed that will help redirect the flow of water, so it will not seep into your foundation and cause water damage to your home. A larger retaining wall may help to adjust water flow throughout your yard. Sometimes, these walls are put in after the land has been graded to help prevent erosion as well.

Retaining walls are also used in landscaping and are great for creating a terraced landscape bed. Again, this is helpful on hilly or sloped properties. It gives you more room to install gorgeous, colorful plants that would otherwise not survive there. There are also decorative retaining walls that are used to create raised planter beds. These serve to add a focal point to the overall landscape design and give the yard some depth and dimension.

What people are saying

Ware Landscaping & Snow Removal

They did a great job and we are very pleased!

“I contacted Mike at Ware Landscaping for help with fixing my flooded backyard and garage. Mike gave me an honest assessment of my situation and recommended the right system to fix my problems (a lot of issues). Ware Landscaping installed drainage, underground downspouts, underground sump pump lines, driveway drains and surface drains in the yard to fix all my problems.. The team was very professional and always asked for my approval on work being done before it was completed. They did a great job and we are very pleased!”

Jim Kristof

I recommend him without any hesitation.

“We had a water problem in our basement that Mike Ware completely eliminated by removing both our sump pump water and downspout water away from the home. He was professional and highly motivated to solve the problem and do it the right way. I always felt like a priority and that my project mattered. I recommend him without any hesitation.”

Michael Swider

FANTASTIC JOB!!!

Ware Landscaping did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! I needed my entire backyard regraded and they filled it in with more than 2 truck loads, installed a French drain and put new beautiful green sod on top. They also power washed and reset my front retaining wall. Communication from the beginning was always very good. We always knew when they were coming out. The project was completed on time as well. They also called on their own a month after the project to check on the sod and were willing to replace some spots due to the June heat wave. Would recommend Ware Landscaping to all!!!”

Dan Malloy

The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail.

“Mike, Greg and the rest of the crew made our back yard dream a reality with a drainage system to remove the stream that flowed through the middle of the yard, which flooded every rainstorm and stuck around for weeks. To complete the look in came a perfectly designed beautiful hardscape patio that we can’t wait to use this summer. The entire crew were incredible, so friendly, knowledgeable, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend!”

Katie Jankowski

The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy.

“We had a wooden deck for a front porch that was starting to age. When we removed it we saw that there was a concrete slab underneath it that was pitched toward our house, creating an issue with standing water up against our foundation. We had Mike come by to advise us on the best solution, and he suggested permeable pavers. We were able to come up with a custom design with him that day. The crew was fast, friendly, and tidy. I’m sure they do much bigger jobs than our little patio, but this project made a huge difference for our home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do my own landscaping or should I hire someone?

That depends. A lot of people enjoy tending to their property, but many may confidently take on all of the work for their property to discover they’ve bitten off a bit more than they can chew. Landscaping can involve a surprising amount of time, effort, and labor.   

Furthermore, few people have the experience and training to determine the right care program for their yard. Imagine pouring a lot of time and hard work into lawn care only to watch it die off. Even if you think you want to tackle your landscaping yourself, you should still consult with a professional. If you opt to hire a landscaping company, you may even end up saving money by avoiding design and maintenance errors.

Why should I care about landscaping?

According to many studies, a sophisticated, maintained landscape design can significantly increase your property value. Research has shown returns of over 100 percent for the costs of landscaping. Landscaping for homeowners can be profitable and also provide a source of pride and satisfaction. Many people also enjoy having an attractive yard as a place to relax or gather with friends. If you are a business owner, a pleasing exterior to your storefront or office building can attract customers.

What is the landscape design process at ware landscaping?

We typically begin with an in-person, on-site assessment that is completely free. Our designers will examine your property, take note of any potential issues or complication, talk with your about your ideas, make suggestions, and discuss a plan of action. Additionally, we offer a digital design service that lays out a blueprint for your dream landscape; the cost of this is credited towards your installation fee. Many of our landscape design projects can be completed swiftly—in as little as a single day. We will give you a timeline estimate for your dream landscape up front and work as quickly as possible to realize your vision.
