Retaining walls are a critical element in many landscape projects, turning sloped yards into functional and attractive multi-tiered patios, providing erosion control, or dividing outdoor spaces to make intimate gathering spots.
When planning a landscape project, designers look for retaining wall systems that will stand the test of time while also matching their desired aesthetic. County Materials’ segmental concrete retaining wall systems offer many advantages over other types of retaining walls.
Durability
Concrete is recognized in the construction industry as a durable, low-maintenance building material. Retaining walls made from interlocking concrete blocks retain earth with unmatched strength, meeting residential and commercial needs for generations of use. The high-strength units withstand freeze-thaw cycles and resist fire, rot, rust, pests, and more. They require minimal upkeep and reduce the cost and effort of repair and replacement over time.
Design Flexibility
Segmental retaining walls are suitable for both residential and commercial applications and can be used for more than just retaining walls. Our Tribute® Smooth Retaining Wall System full units can be seamlessly connected to our column units to create transitional spaces. For example, a retaining wall or seat wall can transition smoothly into an outdoor kitchen, or raised garden bed can transition into a staircase.
Some of our retaining wall systems can be used for seat walls, fire features, outdoor kitchens and bars, planting beds, steps, or multi-level terraces. For example, our Tribute Smooth Retaining Wall System was used to build a gorgeous multi-tiered residential patio overlooking the St. Croix River. The design maximizes the functionality of the sloped terrain and provides dedicated areas for relaxation, dining, and outdoor entertainment.
Aesthetic Versatility
County Materials’ concrete retaining wall systems come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with multiple color and texture options. The Tribute Smooth Retaining Wall System is available in six integrally pigmented colors, which can be mixed and matched to achieve contemporary, traditional, or modern aesthetics.
