Benefits of Having a Stone Retaining Wall
When choosing the type of retaining wall you want to have on your property, think about the general benefits each one of them offers, and then tick off the list of those that don’t comply with what you’re looking for when finding the best option based on quality and price.
In the case of stone walls, it is a matter of, as mentioned before, aesthetics for most homeowners and even business owners that are trying to enhance their landscape and, usually, gardens or patios. But what many don’t consider is the functionality and long-term benefits it offers:
Little maintenance is a long-term advantage.
You don't have to paint them nor worry about them rusting or being discolored. They don't usually need cleaning or polishing. There's a whole list of things you don't have to do during the maintenance but rather just make sure they are not damaged, and no external occurrences or unexpected ones have caused some issues to its performance.
It is both functional and stunning.
Just like every retaining wall, it offers the option to prevent soil erosion and helps to divert or drain water. In fact, it is quite good at preventing soil erosion as a natural element that blocks and retains all the soil. Additionally, you can create more usable spaces.
Many properties, especially residential ones in Palm Beach, have issues with slopes and uneven blocks that don't allow them to install new furniture or make a design of the entire landscape. When you build a stone wall, you can create those spaces by retaining the soil in place and making the entire area have a new "level" that can be used by you or others.
Flooding and damage to your property or other outdoor elements won't be an issue if the wall is tall enough and designed in a way that guarantees all the prevention and assistance to deal with those issues.
You will add value to your property.
All retaining walls tend to add more value to ANY property in Florida simply because they help with soil erosion and all the water that needs to be drained, especially after storms and hurricanes have taken place and how the structure itself can stand them.
However, stone retaining walls add a little extra to the total value. Since they are stunning, offer all the functional aspects, and the natural stone is valuable for more than hardscaping, buyers see it as an investment they don’t have to deal with.
Hardscape, in general, is considered to be expensive or more time-consuming, which means not many want to go over the process of assessing the space with our contractors or building the wall. When you choose to have us and work on this beforehand for your own enjoyment and happiness while adding value, you will have all benefits at once.
Cost & Durability: What You Must Know About Stone Walls
When it comes to durability, everything depends.
The materials’ quality, who performed the installation or built the wall, weather conditions, external damage, and any variables that can affect the stone retaining wall in the short and long run.
The constraints of your groundwater source also matter, and if it is built on a slope or a very hilly area, it can be easy for it to break at some point.
Our team will make sure that whenever you decide to take this option, the stone wall will last at least 50 years as we always use the highest quality materials, have experienced and licensed contractors ready to assist you, and we worry about guaranteeing that the structure and design are able to stand as much as the stones themselves.
Regarding prices, size, and design matter. Since we’re always using top-quality materials, this isn’t too variable, but we assure you our prices are affordable regarding what we use and even when “high-quality” often means “expensive” in the industry.
On average, stone retaining walls can cost between $20 to $72 per square foot, and some natural stones can be more expensive than others. Everything will end up depending on the type of stone you want to use and, if it is possible, based on your budget.
