Rock Walls
Too often rock walls are overlooked as a solution to erosion problems caused by a steep slope. Do not underestimate the rustic charm that these walls bring to your landscape, but instead decide the look you wish to present. Brookside can help you determine which rocks would complement your landscape the most. Depending on your choice of rocks, the stone wall in your yard could bring a formal or informal look and help tie all of the elements together in a chic and functional way.
Block Walls
Unlike with the use of rocks, block walls are a sleek addition to a landscape. Combat a sloping lawn or garden bed by adding a block wall to retain parts of the yard or divide areas of land using freestanding walls. Block walls can make excellent, private divisions for lots or an aesthetically pleasing low wall to separate the front from the back yard. With a wide range of shapes, colors and textures available, Brookside is happy to guide you as you mix and match to create unique works that enhance natural surroundings and often turn what was once unusable space into a focal point.
Gabion Baskets
Gabion baskets are cages filled with different rocks. These are used for civil engineering, road building, military applications, and landscaping. Although these baskets have existed for centuries for these basic purposes, they are beginning to gain popularity in residential landscapes as well. When using gabion baskets, we use them to build retaining and freestanding walls. Whether as walls or decorative features, these baskets provide a unique way to create neatly leveled areas and add an intriguing level of development to an otherwise natural-appearing landscape.
