At F&M, we always do our best to make recommendations for our customers’ outdoor improvement projects that suit their needs. Adding retaining walls is a “common sense choice” that benefits homeowners in multiple ways, some of which you may not expect!
Sitting Walls, Retaining Walls, and More
Retaining walls prevent the flooding of landscapes, which in turn helps to keep backyards and storm drains safe from weather-related erosion. Plus, they add visual interest, express a unique personality, and increase home value, putting money back in customers’ pockets. Our contractors carefully plan and construct each retaining wall to suit client needs and to complement the surrounding terrain, resulting in architecture that works for you.
A “sitting wall” is a natural partner for a retaining wall. We build the shorter bench level directly against the retaining wall. Adding this durable, year-round seating to a patio or garden creates a functional feature that can make the difference when it comes to resale value!
Sprucing up Your Landscape
Retaining walls and sitting walls are a fantastic way to frame a patio, increase leisure space, and more. We use a variety of textures and color tones to help create unique builds that add to the aesthetic of your outdoor space. Retaining walls built above patio levels to hold back a slope make an ideal place to start a shrub garden, and planter boxes can rest along a driveway sitting wall to make raised beds. Our patio and driveway contractors incorporate retaining walls and sitting walls in clever and creative ways for residential and business projects.
