If your property has slopes, elevation changes, or drainage concerns, a retaining wall installation might be more than just a nice-to-have—it could be a necessity. At Broadstone Landscape, we specialize in crafting custom retaining walls for DFW homeowners that are both functional and visually appealing.

Whether you're dealing with erosion or just want to add structure to your landscape, here’s why retaining walls are a smart choice.

1. Prevent Soil Erosion

One of the primary functions of retaining walls is to hold back soil and prevent erosion, especially in sloped yards. Heavy rain, wind, and gravity can shift soil over time, affecting your yard's appearance and stability. A properly built retaining wall keeps everything in place and protects your landscape investment.

2. Create Level Outdoor Spaces

Sloped yards can be hard to use, but retaining walls help flatten out spaces so you can create:

• Garden beds
• Patios or seating areas
• Play zones
• Outdoor kitchens or entertainment spaces

They help maximize usable space, especially in hilly neighborhoods where flat land is limited.

3. Improve Drainage and Water Control

Retaining walls can be designed with built-in drainage solutions that redirect water away from your home’s foundation. This prevents pooling, runoff, and water damage, all while keeping your landscape healthy and well-managed.

4. Add Structure and Design Aesthetics

Beyond function, retaining walls can enhance your yard’s visual structure. They add definition and texture to your landscape while complementing your home’s architecture. At Broadstone Landscape, we use premium materials like:

• Natural stone
• Concrete blocks
• Brick
• Decorative masonry

This ensures each wall is durable, elegant, and tailored to your style.

5. Increase Property Value

Curb appeal isn’t just about looks—it affects your property value. Retaining walls are a long-term investment that:

• Boosts the visual appeal
• Makes your yard more functional
• Prevents costly drainage or erosion problems

Buyers often see a professionally built retaining wall as a sign of a well-maintained property.

6. Custom Design & Engineering

Every yard is different. That’s why we take time to assess:

• The soil composition
• Drainage requirements
• Yard elevation
• Aesthetic preferences

Our in-house crews ensure every retaining wall we install meets safety standards while looking great.
