Walls can add both functionality and beauty to your landscape. At Hawcott Lawn Service we can work with you to come up with a wall solution that will best fit your needs and landscape. Here are some things to consider when thinking about wall options for your property.
- The height and length of the wall will determine what materials can be used. The higher the wall the larger the block or stone you may need to use. There is a lot of weight being held back by a wall.
- Natural stone is more difficult to use as a wall choice once you get over 4 feet in height. Above 4 feet you will need larger pieces of stone. Also, above 4 feet it is recommended to use geo grid with modular block to help tie the wall into the hillside.
- Boulder walls are often the cheapest form of wall.
- Boulder walls are a great option around new construction. The ground often settles around new construction and the settling is less noticeable with boulders than modular block.
