If your commercial property in New Jersey, New York, or Connecticut is on a slope, you're likely dealing with soil erosion and drainage issues. Fortunately, that's where retaining walls come into play! Retaining walls remedy erosion by holding the soil in place to prevent it from moving or running off. This usually occurs at a faster rate on sloped properties because of the natural forces at work. Not only that but retaining walls turn sloped land into flat, usable space, allowing you to maximize your outdoor area and add features and elements you couldn't otherwise. They can even help with drainage problems by managing and controlling water flow so that it doesn't gather where it shouldn't.

Retaining Walls Help Manage Soil Erosion for Commercial Properties With a Slope

A notable benefit of retaining walls is that they manage soil erosion on commercial properties with a slope. When left to its own devices, erosion occurs at a faster rate on sloped properties due to gravity and the force of wind blowing over the land. So, when you install a retaining wall, it will serve as a barrier between the topsoil and underlying subsoil, stabilizing the land and preventing the soil from running off or moving. That way, it stays where it belongs rather than causing potential hazards for people, structures, or utilities.

You can opt for block, stone, or veneer for your retaining wall to suit your aesthetic preferences and complement the characteristics of your property!

Retaining Walls Turn Sloped Land Into Flat, Usable Space

Another advantage of installing a retaining wall on your commercial property is that it turns sloped land into flat, usable space. After all, it holds everything together to create an equally vertical surface on both sides, which is perfect if you want to utilize that previously unusable area. With a level, stable surface, you can use it for other things, such as adding outdoor features that will improve your commercial grounds, incorporating landscape beds, creating a more functional and aesthetically appealing environment, and more! You can also go one step further and have a raised planter bed installed atop your retaining wall to make it look like a natural extension of your existing landscape.

Retaining Walls Can Help With Drainage Issues on Your Sloped Property

The last thing you want is for water to collect and pool where it shouldn't, potentially causing damage to your commercial grounds. Fortunately, that's where retaining walls can help! These walls are designed to manage and control water flow across your property to prevent it from gathering in unwanted areas. Whether you're experiencing poor drainage during heavy rainfall or flooding after severe storms, a retaining wall can effectively remedy this issue.
