Retaining Wall Installation in Arlington, VA

Retaining walls are the unsung heroes of landscaping, serving as both functional structures and aesthetic enhancements. At CM Hardscapes, we recognize the importance of retaining walls. They save soil, prevent erosion, and add a touch of elegance to your outdoor spaces. Beyond their visual appeal, retaining walls are crucial in property management, creating level surfaces for various purposes. With CM Hardscapes, you have a dedicated partner with the expertise to guide you in choosing the perfect retaining wall solution for your unique needs.

What Is A Retaining Wall?

A retaining wall is a versatile landscaping feature engineered to withstand the lateral pressure of soil and prevent its displacement. Typically standing at a maximum height of 3 feet, these walls open the door to a world of possibilities. Whether you want to expand your outdoor living space, install a swimming pool, create a children's play area, or design a picturesque patio, retaining walls provide the foundation. Additionally, they offer an excellent canvas for crafting outdoor fireplaces and kitchens. However, the effectiveness of any retaining wall hinges on proper grading, soil reinforcement, and an efficient drainage system.

Retaining Walls: Balancing Form and Function

Retaining walls are more than mere barriers; they are functional art pieces that blend seamlessly with landscaping. They create visual interest, define spaces, and add character to your property. Whether you desire a contemporary, sleek look or a rustic, natural appearance, retaining walls can be tailored to match your aesthetic preferences.
