Adds Beauty to Your Yard and Garden
The addition of decorative stone enhances the beauty and adds interest to walkways and patios. Retaining walls and stacked stone walls make an attractive outdoor feature when installing them close to a decorative walkway or raised flower bed. Arbors and trellises adorned with lovely growing vines and flowers make a beautiful focal point when placed in the middle of a garden.
Use Stonescaping to Define Areas of Your Yard and Garden
You can use a decorative walkway to define an area in your yard and direct foot traffic to another location. An arbor can signal an entrance to your yard and act as a gate for people to pass through. Installing retaining walls and stacked stone walls are an excellent way to help define your landscaped area.
Increases the Value of Your Home
While living in your home, you may have turned an area of the property that was unusable into a functional outdoor living space with retaining walls. The walkways and patios were places where you found peace and tranquility. If you decide to sell your home, the garden and patio areas that bring you much enjoyment will increase your home’s value. Your potential buyers will appreciate the aesthetics that your outdoor backyard retreat has to offer.
Helps to Prevent Soil Erosion
Homeowners mostly use retaining walls to help keep soil from disappearing through erosion. If you do not address soil erosion early, it could cause problems for your property’s structures in later years.
Another way to prevent soil erosion is through the use of terraced landscaping. Terraced landscapes help reduce the amount of water runoff during irrigation and heavy rains. If you have a sloped yard and want to create a level area for your plants, you can use a terrace.
Provides a Place to Entertain Family and Friends
Other ways to use stacked stone walls include building an area of low seats around a swimming pool or fire pits. Patios built with pavers add outdoor living space to your yard where you can sit and relax or entertain. Having a deck or patio will also help increase the resale value of your home.
