Retaining Walls

Top 5 reasons for a retaining wall

1. PREVENTS FLOODING – We are all to aware of the damage that flooding can cause here in southern, New Brunswick. Saint John and the surrounding area got hit hard in April and May of 2018 with the worst case of flooding in 40 years. Thousands of homes, cottages, and business were affected. One thing that can help many of these areas and your property is a solid retaining wall built with large concrete blocks.
2. INCREASES PROPERTY VALUE – Every addition you make that makes your landscape more beautiful and lasts the test of time will increase the value of your property. Some retaining walls are simply built better than others. If you’re in the marketing for a retaining wall and want it to look nice a concrete block wall is a great solution.
3. PREVENTS EROSION – If you have property on a hill or a small slant a retaining wall can help secure your fill and make it look beautiful at the same time.
4. REDUCES MAINTENANCE – Concrete retaining walls are extremely heavy and cannot be moved by hand. This means you won’t get small pieces moving and requiring work every spring. You have them professionally installed once and you’re good!
5. YOUR WIFE WILL BE HAPPY – OK, joking aside, retaining walls simply look beautiful and who doesn’t want a beautiful low maintenance option that keeps water out of their home and improves property value. Happy, happy, happy.
