3. Retaining Walls and Stone Pathway

Retaining walls not only stabilize the ground and prevent corrosion. They also serve decorative landscaping purposes in gardens, lawns, and other areas around the house. With careful planning, any slope of soil will be stabilized and soil erosion can be prevented. An efficient retaining wall should be able to withstand extreme amounts of pressure. The kinds of rocks that are used for retaining walls may vary in size, shape, and material. A retaining wall can also be designed to look like a set of steps and flowers and various plants can also be included to add more style and color to any area. In decorating your home, one can acquire professional services or even build a retaining wall on your own. An efficient retaining wall must be level, and a backfill of stone, sand, soil, or gravel may be used to substantiate the wall that has an effective drainage. If you are planning to build a retaining wall in your area, you must secure a building permit, especially if you are building more than 3 feet in height. Rather than round and flat stones, stones that are angular and rough are preferred in building retaining walls.

Aside from retaining walls, a stone pathway is also an ideal landscape decoration for any garden or lawn, or yard. Bricks are the most common types of materials used for stone pathways, and some even take it to the next level of creativity by using a variety of materials and colors. Before installing a stone pathway, it is important to plan the path and the shape of the pathway. Marking it on the lawn is also an efficient way of visualizing how the pathway will look like prior to installation. Planning a straight stone pathway is much easier than a curved one, as the latter requires more planning in the use of stones and the angles needed to obtain the desired curve or shape of the path. The width of your stone pathway is also important. It is best not to install a stone pathway near trees, as the growth of the roots may affect the level of the soil and eventually affect the stone pathway. After installing the stones for the pathway, you can test if it is level by walking on it. This way, you can easily determine the imperfections and fix it immediately. Do-it-yourself tools include garden trowels, shovels, or a garden spade, and the assistance of other relatives in checking for imperfections.
