Heavy Duty Retaining Walls Can Look Great Too

 
Crafting an exceptionally durable material that can withstand harsh weather and heavy loads often leads to compromised beauty and aesthetic style. These retaining walls from Unilock, however, have paired unbeatable durability with unique, stunning surfaces. Consider adding strength to your beautiful hardscape with the following materials.
 

Rivercrest Wall

Rivercrest Wall is a popular choice where green, rustic landscapes are concerned. This concrete structure mimics the natural beauty of stacked flagstone that has been used to create retaining walls for centuries. Despite the soft neutrality of the Buff and Coastal Slate color variations, retaining walls created from this material are guaranteed to stand out with their incredibly textured surfaces. The irregularity of the stones within these retaining walls, as well as the way in which individual units protrude from the structure, give the end product a natural, highly detailed look. Rivercrest Wall can be used to create winding structures that complement the organic shapes and textures of the surrounding landscape. This retaining wall showcases the excellent contrast created by the Coastal Slate color variation and the vibrant greens or earthy browns within the plant beds and lawn. This is further enhanced with the use of Ledgestone Coping, providing hand carved stone detail and color contrast.
