Retaining walls do more than hold back soil—they shape your landscape, improve drainage, and boost your home’s curb appeal. Whether your yard needs support on a slope or you want to define outdoor living areas, a well-designed retaining wall is a functional investment that can significantly increase your property’s value.
A thoughtfully constructed retaining wall adds structure and symmetry to your yard, instantly enhancing its visual appeal. Stone and block walls frame garden beds, patios, and walkways, creating a polished, high-end look. Homes with professional landscaping—including hardscapes like retaining walls—tend to attract buyers and sell at higher prices.
Design Works has installed thousands of retaining walls, patios, and hardscapes across Southern NH. Work with the experts who can impress even your pickiest neighbor!
In New England, sloped yards and heavy rainfall often lead to erosion and water runoff issues. Retaining walls stabilize soil and redirect water flow away from your home and hardscapes. This helps preserve your lawn and protect your foundation, walkways, and patios from long-term water damage.
Instead of letting a slope go to waste, retaining walls allow you to carve out level spaces for gardens, play areas, or patios. Tiered walls are especially popular for creating multi-use zones and maximizing every inch of your yard. Whether you’re dreaming of a sunken fire pit or an elevated planting bed, retaining walls make it possible.
From structural support to elevated aesthetics, retaining walls are a smart upgrade for any homeowner looking to invest in their property’s future. At Design Works Landscaping, our landscape architects and masons specialize in building retaining walls that look beautiful and perform under pressure.
