Retaining Walls - Functional and Beautiful

Retaining walls can be both functional and beautiful. 

A well-built retaining wall can provide support for keeping your garden's topsoil in place, be helpful in preventing flooding and other water damage, prevent erosion and prevent damage to property or surrounding structures.

Retaining walls can be built with some of the most beautiful types of brick and stone.  The color options and styles abound.  Your yard becomes a park when you combine plants and bushes with your new retaining wall.

Moss in Your Grass?

Poor drainage and/or standing water in any yard can cause many issues, including possible damage to your home's foundation.  It is also a hotbed for mosquitoes, root rot and an inability to actually enjoy the yard.  One other issue it can cause is moss.  Moss is a symptom of lawn problems, not a cause of them.  If it is growing in a low-lying area where the soil stays wet, improving the drainage can discourage moss from growing.
