It is commonly believed that you must choose between functionality and aesthetics when proceeding with retaining wall construction. While you may lean toward one or the other for your project, there are aspects of both that can be incorporated into your final design.
- Aesthetic – It doesn’t matter if you are planning retaining wall construction for your home or your business. An ugly retaining wall isn’t something anyone wants to look at. When you choose the materials for your project, keep in mind how well the finished result will match the property’s overall style. Consider, also, how much a visually appealing wall will increase the value of your property.
- Functional – For your retaining wall construction to be practical, it must do the job you need it to do – namely, hold back ground. You may be looking to increase space by pushing back a hilly area or simply want to avoid erosion or a treacherous incline. Consider a multilevel retaining wall if you’ll want to easily access the area above.
If you are mostly concerned with functionality, your retaining wall construction could be as simple as bare concrete. However, you might find that you can also make it look nice, so it fits in with the surroundings in a pleasing way.
