We Are Retaining Wall Design and Installation Specialists
Retaining walls are an important, yet often overlooked component of a successful landscape design. They’re found near millions of businesses, schools, industrial buildings, and homes across the country—and they typically go unnoticed because they blend in with their surroundings.
However, when they’re designed and built right, retaining walls can be a functional, beautiful, and unique addition to a commercial or residential landscape.
At Masonworks Landscapes, we have more than 40 years of experience designing and building retaining walls for customers in the Greater Boston area. Our stone retaining walls will enhance and protect properties of all sizes. We’ll carefully plan and construct your retaining walls, each serving a crucial purpose while adding beauty and style to your surroundings.
What You Should Know About Retaining Walls
In simple terms, retaining walls are structures that hold back or retain soil, water, and other materials behind them. While some clients value these walls for the aesthetic benefits they provide, they also serve an important function in a landscape design. Retaining walls can:
- Create terraces that increase the amount of usable outdoor space.
- Manage runoff.
- Upgrade your surroundings.
Retaining walls provide other benefits in some applications, such as creating additional seating. With a bit of creativity and a lot of planning, it’s possible to use retaining walls to enhance and organize your space.
While many of our clients learn that retaining walls are necessary for practical purposes, that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice form for function. When you work with the team at Masonworks, you won’t have to settle for less. Call or click today to schedule a design consultation.
Other Ways to Use Retaining Walls
Our residential and commercial retaining walls serve other purposes, such as:
- Flower bed creation.
- Easing the navigation of hilly terrain.
- Providing outdoor seating.
Our clients have numerous options for retaining wall design, and our expert team will explain your options in an easy-to-understand way. Retaining walls can be terraced, curved, or straight, and no matter their shape, they can be customized to suit your property’s style, your budget, and your design preferences. We’re here to bring your ideas to life while ensuring proper drainage and protecting your property from damage.
What Makes Retaining Walls So Useful?
Hiring our masonry experts to build a retaining wall near your business or home will provide some crucial advantages. Here, we’ll explain some of the biggest benefits of retaining wall construction from Masonworks Landscapes.
- Preventing soil erosion. With our retaining walls, the soil will be held in place securely. Therefore, it won’t be as likely to erode.
- Providing structural support. Because a retaining wall’s main purpose is to hold the soil in position, it’s important that the soil gets the support it needs. Our walls prevent sloped soils from sustaining damage during inclement weather.
- Increasing your property’s value. A well-built new retaining wall can become a stunning addition to your home or commercial building. This translates into increased curb appeal, which means your property will stand out from its neighbors. When properties look better, they increase in value.
- Keeps flooding under control. Here in Massachusetts, flooding is a seasonal concern. That’s why retaining walls with included drainage can be useful additions to the area’s homes and businesses. Water runoff can be routed through the integrated drainage pipes, minimizing flood-related landscaping damage.
- Making spaces more functional. Managing mounds and hills on a commercial or residential property can be quite a hassle, which is why our retaining walls are such a popular option among Melrose’s home and business owners. Call us today to find out about our easy-to-maintain retaining walls.
The team at Masonworks will build a permanent, solid, and durable retaining wall that can last for decades to come. As installation methods and materials become more advanced, it’s more important than ever to choose a contractor who’s knowledgeable and experienced in retaining wall design and construction.
The Masonworks Approach to Retaining Wall Construction
At Masonworks, we’ll take the time to learn about your landscaping requirements and stylistic needs before we begin the design or construction processes. It’s our primary goal to ensure that every client is happy with the design process as well as the results they receive.
If a retaining wall is in your future, you’re sure to be in capable hands when you hire us. First, we’ll book a consultation where we’ll discuss your retaining wall requirements. Our design experts will ask questions that allow us to learn about you and your property. Then, we’ll create a design based on the desired purpose for the retaining wall, as well as the information you’ve provided.
After you’ve approved the design, we’ll take care of the rest. Our durable retaining walls have what it takes to improve drainage and stop erosion. With our commercial and residential retaining wall solutions, you’re sure to get results that stand the test of time.
Retaining Wall Construction: It’s Not for the Average Do-It-Yourselfer
Many of Melrose’s business owners and homeowners want to save money by building retaining walls themselves. Because we care about the safety and satisfaction of our customers, we must advise against DIY construction. Without the proper grading, a home-built retaining wall may even cause more structural and water damage than it prevents. Special measurements and difficult work are required to ensure a lasting result, and many of the do-it-yourself projects we see don’t meet our rigorous standards.
