We hope everyone had a fantastic holiday last weekend, and we are grateful for the cooling rain we have been getting, although more would be nice! One thing that the rain we did get reminded us of is the importance of retaining walls, in both residential and commercial properties. If you do not know what a retaining wall is, what it does, or how Hutcheson Horticultural can help you, let us enlighten you! 
What Is A Retaining Wall?
To put it simply, a retaining wall is a structure designed to hold or retain the soil behind it. The walls are designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil where there is a desired change in ground elevation or a desired slope. Retaining walls are used primarily to bound soils between two different elevations where landscapes need to be shaped to resist pressure generated by loose soils and water
What Do They Do?
A retaining wall’s main job is to hold back soil, preventing erosion, saving you time and money. It can add a polished look to a backyard or business but also unmatched functionality. They are also especially helpful when dealing with a desired elevation change in a terrain, such as a slope or gradient.
