HCSE PROVIDE IDEAS FOR RETAINING WALLS

Welcome to Dream Yard's retaining wall ideas on HCSE is the One of

the best Company. This is Provide Best Ideas For Retaining Walls &
Services.

RETAINING WALL WITH BUILT-IN PLANTER

Liven up your retaining wall by embedding a

planter at the top. Create an 8-inch- to 12-inchdeep trough at the top to serve as a planter.
Add trailing plants such as petunias, lobelia
(Lobelia erinus), nasturiums (Tropaeolum
majus) and sweet potato vine (Ipomoea
batatas). Your retaining wall will burst with
color.

GRADUATING HEIGHT, CURVED SHAPES

Instead of making the top of the retaining wall

straight and with a continuous height, graduate
the wall's height. Create a stairstep design so
that the wall climbs upward by decreasing the
width. Add interest to the wall by using a curved
shape or a semicircle. Use the shape to define
and create specialty garden areas in your yard,
such as an herb garden or a spring bulb
garden.

PATIO RETAINING WALL

Create a retaining wall to border a patio area.

Make the top of the wall wide enough to serve
as a sitting ledge. For example, if the bricks or
blocks that form the base of the wall are 12
inches wide, make the top 14 inches to 18
inches wide. Use flat and smooth pieces of
flagstone to make seating comfortable. The
extra seating space will come in handy when
you are having a backyard party or barbecue.

COMBINATION FENCE AND RETAINING WALL

Build a combination fence and retaining wall to

create curbside privacy. Make a short 4-foot
retaining wall with prefabricated blocks, bricks or
stacked stone. This type of combination is a good
choice for a home with a large front yard. The wall
fence can be situated where your lawn meets the
sidewalk, or 6 feet or so away from the sidewalk.
You will have just enough height to satisfy your
need for fencing in the front of your home without
eliminating your view of street and sidewalk
activity.

CORNERSTONE ANCHORS FOR FENCES

Create columns and cornerstones with stacked

stone or brick to connect the fronts and sides
of your fence. The mixture of materials and
textures will make your fence distinctive. Add
decorative glazed tiles at the tops of the
cornerstones for a creative finishing touch.
Install solar-powered lamps on the tops of the
cornerstones to give your property even more
curb appeal and to light the perimeter of your
home's landscape at night.

LIVE FENCE

Use evergreens to create a "live" fence instead

of traditional materials like wood, stone, iron
and vinyl. In many areas, you can get around
zoning requirements for fencing height if you
plant a tree. Explore fast-growing evergreens
such as Thuja "Green Giant," which grows 3 to
5 feet each year and reaches 30 to 40 feet at
maturity, or a Leyland cypress, which grows 3 to
4 feet in a year to 40 to 60 feet at maturity.
