What Are Retaining Walls and Garden Walls?
Retaining walls hold back soil on sloped blocks to prevent erosion and create level areas. Garden walls are decorative or functional structures used for raised garden beds, borders, or feature walls. Both can be built using brick, concrete blocks, or a combination of both.
Why Retaining Walls and Garden Walls Are So Popular in Melbourne
Melbourne has many hilly suburbs with clay soil and changing elevations. A well-built retaining wall solves drainage issues, creates usable space, and can dramatically improve the look and value of your property.
