A retaining wall is a specially designed structure that holds soil on one side and is free standing on the other. They help to accommodate changes in grade in a landscape with uneven topography. These walls often allow steeper cuts to a slope to yield more usable space on a cut-and-fill hillside lot. Hard working retaining walls can be key to creating a level sports lawn or driveway too. Retaining walls are also used on level ground to raise living spaces above the surrounding ground plain. A well designed retaining wall can elevate planting areas for improved drainage while at the same time creating a seat wall.
There is no end to the benefits of these heavy barriers, but they can be costly and must be strictly constructed to prevent failure. There are many materials that can be used for retaining walls. We at CEL will help you decide which material is right for your project. We can also help with drainage issues. Contact us today for a free quote!
Water adds atmosphere with sound, texture, and color. Whether your yard is large or small, a water feature can make it more inviting.
Nearly everyone loves water features. They make hot days seem a little cooler. They reflect the sky and colorful leaves. And even the tiniest fountain can offer a soothing sound to drown out neighborhood noise. A fountain is a working ornament and a dramatic sensual delight. Fountains engage us with sound and motion and have a cooking influence, both physically and psychologically.
Water features can help turn your landscape into something special, providing a focal point and attracting wildlife. From quiet shallow ponds to the active spray jets in a formal pool, water can provide just the right element for the many moods of a landscaped space.
Because of the wide range of options that are available, adding a water feature can be accomplished for even the smallest garden areas. Contact us today to start designing your dream water feature.
