If your property in Michigan is on a slope, you may experience rapid soil erosion, drainage issues, and the inability to maximize your outdoor space. Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems: a retaining wall! A retaining wall remedies erosion by holding soil in place, which increases your landscape's stability. It also levels out sloped land so you can utilize the flat surface and get the most out of that area! Additionally, it can help manage and control water flow to prevent it from gathering where it shouldn't. A retaining wall will prove a worthwhile, functional investment for your sloped property, as it solves problems you otherwise couldn't before.

Retaining Walls Remedy Soil Erosion on Your Sloped Property

A notable advantage of retaining walls is their ability to remedy soil erosion. While erosion is a natural occurrence, the rate at which it happens is faster on sloped properties, especially during rain, wind, or other inclement weather. A retaining wall can drastically slow it down by holding the soil in place, preventing it from moving and running off. That way, your landscape has a more stable, secure foundation and products like fertilizer don't wash away, which can reduce the benefits for your lawn and plants, plus harm nearby waterways.

Retaining Walls Turn Sloped Land Into Flat, Usable Space

Another issue a retaining wall will solve on your sloped property is the inability to maximize available space. When you have sloped land, it is next to impossible to utilize it for expanding your outside area, thereby wasting its potential. However, a retaining wall will turn that previously unusable space into a flat, level surface, one at the top and another at the base. That way, you have room on your property you didn't have before, allowing you to add a patio or other hardscape features, softscape elements, and anything else you want. With this benefit, the opportunities are endless, and you can get the most out of your land!

Retaining Walls Can Help With Drainage Issues on Your Sloped Property

Drainage issues are common on sloped properties, especially when the slope causes water to collect at the foundation of your home or business. Fortunately, a retaining wall can help with this problem! It can do this by managing and controlling water flow, preventing it from gathering where it shouldn't; this is especially beneficial during periods of heavy rainfall or when snow starts to melt. Whether you commonly deal with flooding on your lawn or near the foundation, a retaining wall can mitigate this and help redirect water.

You can choose from eye-catching materials to make your retaining wall as decorative as it is functional, including natural stone, blocks, and boulders.
