Benefits of Installing a Wood Retaining Wall for Your Landscape

Enhanced Aesthetics


A redwood retaining wall adds a natural, rustic charm to your landscape.


The rich, warm tones of redwood blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, creating an elegant and cohesive look.


Whether you're aiming to create a terraced garden, prevent soil erosion, or add structure to your yard, a redwood retaining wall is a versatile and attractive solution.

Durability and Strength


Redwood is renowned for its durability and resistance to decay.


This makes it an excellent choice for retaining walls, which must withstand the pressures of soil and weather.


A professionally installed wood retaining wall by C & J Fencing ensures that you get the most out of this durable material, providing long-lasting support and stability for your landscape that stand the test of time.

Preventing Soil Erosion


One of the primary functions of a retaining wall is to prevent soil erosion.


By holding back soil and preventing it from shifting, a retaining wall protects your landscape and maintains the integrity of your garden or yard.


This is particularly important in the hilly areas of the San Francisco Bay Area, where erosion can be a significant concern.

Retaining walls enhance landscaping and increase property value

Increased Property Value


A well-designed and expertly installed retaining wall can significantly increase the value of your property.


Not only does it improve the aesthetic appeal of your home, but it also adds functional space and structural integrity to your outdoor areas.


Potential buyers will appreciate the added stability and beauty that a redwood retaining wall provides.

Other Considerations for your Wood Retaining Wall

Drainage


With a retaining wall, you could have a buildup of water that collects at the base of the new wall.


We can provide q properly engineered solution to this problem by offering the installation of a french drain to help the water drain from behind the wall.


We build a small trench and install a perforated pipe with gravel over the top.


The pipe runs along the length of the retaining wall and helps the water have somewhere to go other than building up behind the wall. 

Outdoor Solutions for Properties on a Hillside


C&J Fencing builds retaining walls for areas of your yard that are on a hillside, or sloped and need to hold back soil.


In these cases retaining walls play a crucial role in maximizing the landscaping while controlling erosion.


We build wood retaining walls to support soil at different levels to help keep a slope that it would not naturally keep without.

  • Why do I need a retaining wall?
