TIMBER RETAINING WALLS In recent times retaining walls have become an integral part of any garden design. They are perfect for creating a focal point in your garden, highlighting a special feature or levelling off areas to create a flat lawn. Retaining walls are great for creating terracing and raised gardens where space is limited. On a steep site, they give your garden structure, highlight natural features and help control soil erosion. Best of all, they’re low maintenance, easy to build and they last for years.
