A retaining garden wall is a special kind of retaining wall that is specifically dedicated to garden design. Some of these walls are used to actually contain gardens. Others are built inside the gardens themselves in order to create multiple levels of vegetation. This can add vertical impact to your garden, or it can be used to transform a sloped area in your yard from an eyesore into a premier spot of special interest.In most traditional and Old World style landscapes, they are usually built out of some form of stone or brick. On contemporary landscapes, many are built out of concrete so as to support the highly eclectic and inorganic characteristics of contemporary garden design.
Because these walls vary in size, there are many places on the landscape where they can be constructed. In many instances, they are built near significant hardscapes in order to bring vertical impact and organic presence right up to the edge of a structure, gathering area, or zone of special interest.
One of these places is near a patio. A swimming pool patio, for example, looks much better when a retaining garden wall is built adjacent to its perimeter. A short stairway can be built that descends past the wall to create drama and interest.
