Adding Value to Your Property
A retaining wall can be a difficult design to build if you don’t have any experience. However, if you and your contractor use the right techniques and materials, you can easily build one and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. They are also an excellent way to add value to your property and keep it looking good.
What Are They?
They are a type of wall that is built to keep the soil in place. They can be built into a variety of shapes and sizes and can take on a variety of arrangements. They range in height from a few inches to over 20 feet or more, depending on the situation and what you want to accomplish. They are built with different materials, but most retain the soil with the aid of small rocks, concrete, or big boulders. They can be built out of any material that meets the design and aesthetic you are going for. They are a great way to add beauty to your property, especially if you have a view of them from your window.
How Are They Used?
They are used in a variety of ways but are most commonly used for walls around homes. They can be built as a wall for a driveway, walkway, or anywhere else that needs to add a touch of stability.
Cost of Construction
The cost of building a wall can be as low as $1,200 and as much as $50,000. However, the average cost is somewhere around $3,000 to $12,000. Depending on the materials used, labor, or complexity, you can cut down on the costs. A professional can assist with the design if you engage them, and make it easier for you to estimate the costs.
