Retaining Walls, Concord, NC

Drainage problems often occur on properties with more sloped land, but adding retaining walls can solve a lot of these issues.

Most properties aren’t perfectly even, but even minor sloping can lead to major problems with drainage and water accumulation. In some cases, the presence of moisture is especially concerning if it’s nearing your home or resulting in problems with your landscaping. However, adding certain hardscaping elements can help to resolve these issues and protect your home and property from ongoing concerns every time it rains. At Serene Landscape Consulting, we work with property owners located throughout the Concord, North Carolina area to provide a range of solutions, including retaining walls.

A retaining wall is a structure that helps to hold back soil, preventing erosion that can occur when moisture builds up in one area. Some retaining walls are made from bricks or stones, while others feature metal, plastic, or wood construction. The right material for your retaining wall will depend on several factors, including where it will be placed on your property and the climate conditions to which it will be exposed. Our technicians can assess the situation and determine how to construct a retaining wall that provides the necessary protection.

Another purpose of retaining walls is to flatten a steep slope, helping to prevent the water and soil from moving downward. Drainage problems often occur on properties with more sloped land, but adding retaining walls can solve a lot of these issues.
