Do you have a new home and need to tackle the landscaping? Or are you looking to enhance your established sloped property by creating more separate spaces? No matter the reason, retaining walls are a fantastic element to introduce into any backyard in addition to outdoor paving.
Retaining walls are made for sloped properties and are a great way to separate different levels. They can also be added to flat land where you want to create an elevated space, stairs or garden bed.
So, you know you need a retaining wall, but which style should you pick? Depending on your project, there are different styles you can go for.
Classic timeless retaining walls
In Australia, the quintessential retaining wall that has been around for decades is the Norfolk Retaining Wall System. Solid and reliable, this style of retaining wall is popular for residential and commercial properties. This also includes public spaces.
The wall block system features a recognisable ‘rock face’ texture finish that can range in colours. Its ‘rock face’ blends well with Australian terrain, making it a popular choice in landscape settings.
A similar alternative includes the Miniwall Blocks or the AbradedFace Gardenstone.
Modern retaining walls
If you’re looking for a more modern look, go for a sleek retaining wall system that features slimline pavers. One of our leading choices, the Modernstone® Retaining Wall System is a great choice for those wanting to establish a modern and contemporary aesthetic in their landscaping.
The Modernstone® is recognisable by its long and sleek with a sharp face finish. It’s made from carefully selected pigments, sand and aggregates to develop a considerable strength. The picture-framed blocks provide a contemporary feel that is flexible, suiting both modern and classical gardens. It can be used for corner walls, stairs, straight and curved walls or garden beds.
For a similar look, the Tasman Retaining Wall System, Wallstone®3 and Versawall are other alternatives you could consider.
