Retaining Walls
Retaining walls are very common in our line of work and can be used in many ways in a landscape setting. Generally, the more restricted or congested the site, the greater the need for retaining walls to provide usable space for landscape purposes. Some retaining walls are necessary, built to fulfill a structural need, while other walls are built for visual appeal. Retaining walls built for visual effect sometimes feature an informal shape; they often complement other landscape features such as plants and hardscapes.
Retaining walls can be used for:
- Function – to create more space or make the environment more functional
- Elevate Patios – to create multiple levels and outdoor living spaces. We can also add more interest by adding additional hardscape features that fit to your lifestyles such as water features, water falls, fire pits and/or outdoor kitchen spaces.
- Elevate Gardens – to add interest to your landscaping and make it more visually appealing
Rhine Landscaping uses high quality materials that are pleasing to the eye and accentuate the architecture of your home and environment. We use the following materials for your retaining walls:
- Manufactured Concrete Walls/Segmental Wall Block
- Block Walls faced with Stone or Brick

- Brick Veneer Walls
- Bond Beam Pool Walls
- Engineered Walls / Poured Concrete, Block, Segmental Block
- From Small Seat Walls to Massive Engineered / Structural Walls
Retaining walls often work best as part of a larger site plan. Rhine can coordinate them with landscaping, patios and walkways, and drainage improvements where needed. Explore related work in our project gallery, or contact our team to discuss your property.
