3 Things To Consider When Choosing Your Retaining Wall Material

Luckily, your retaining wall doesn't have to be boring, and there are many options when it comes to the material. No matter the type of wall you build, you'll be able to add a personal touch to the exterior that fits your design theme. Let's Fun Outdoor suggests using natural stones, entwined bricks, and stone art to decorate the wall. You can also add accessories like sculptures, art pieces, and even lights to keep it interesting at night.

If the retaining wall acts as a garden, the plants and flowers will add lots of color and texture to the scenery; natural wall materials will complement that. Another way to get the green look is to add planters and pots to the wall, making it a vertical garden. Masonry veneer is an affordable alternative to achieve the natural stone look and can be attached simply to your wall structure (via House Method).
