What should I plant in my retaining wall?

Trees and plants can soften the space around the wall, so it's natural to want to plant shrubs and bushes around the retaining wall. When installing new trees, look for slow-growing trees without aggressive roots. Small, flowering trees, such as the redbud or saucer magnolia, can do well near a retaining wall.

What can you plant on a hillside to control erosion?

Ornamental grasses like mondo, blue fescue, and yellow foxtail are ideal erosion fighters. These low-maintenance plants grow at moderate to fast speeds, thrive in both shade and full sun (depending on the climate), and establish strong, sprawling root systems that give soil staying power.

What is the cheapest material to use for a retaining wall?

Concrete. Unadorned concrete can look pretty utilitarian, but it can be beautified with paint or even stone veneer. While retaining walls of this type are relatively inexpensive, they can be difficult to repair or remove.

What are good trailing plants?

SOME OF THE BEST TRAILING PLANTS

Do I need drainage behind retaining wall?

Third, since most retaining walls are impervious, which means water cannot pass through the wall itself, efficient drainage is crucial. When drainage goes unaddressed hydrostatic pressure will build up behind the wall and cause damage such as bulging or cracking.

How close to a retaining wall can I plant a tree?

If you want to plant a new tree, find a spot that's as far away from the wall as the plant will be once it's fully grown. So, if your new tree will reach 15 feet tall, choose a planting spot at least 15 feet away.

What can I plant on a hillside?

Some plants that work well on slopes include:

What is the best ground cover for a hillside?

Steep, sunny slopes are perfect for perennials such as daylilies, creeping phlox, lamb's ears, stonecrop and a variety of ornamental grasses. A number of woody plants can also serve as good groundcovers, especially creeping juniper, fragrant sumac, bearberry, and Russian arborvitae.

What is the best plant for erosion control?

What is the strongest type of retaining wall?

Poured concrete is the strongest and most durable choice for retaining walls. It may also be carved and formed to look like mortared stone depending on your taste.

WHY DO Retaining walls fail?

The main cause of retaining wall failure is poor drainage. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure builds up behind the retaining wall. Saturated soil is substantially heavier than dry soil, and the retaining wall may not be designed to handle such a load.

What can I use instead of a retaining wall?

How many plants do I need for a 12 inch hanging basket?

A general rule of thumb when planting a hanging basket is to use one plant per inch of basket diameter - so 12 plants per 30cm (12") hanging basket. The only exception to this is when you use strong-growing plants such as Fuchsias and Geraniums (Pelargoniums).

What slope requires a retaining wall?

The wall should lean into the hill at a minimum of 1 inch for every 12 inches of height in order to maintain a safe load on the wall. This can also help with the drainage when the soil becomes saturated.

How deep should a French drain be behind a retaining wall?

And make it about 18 to 24 inches deep; the depth will vary depending on the depth of your soggy area. If your French drain is against a foundation or retaining wall, you'll need to dig just below the footing.

Can tree roots damage retaining walls?

While it doesn't seem likely that your tree roots could hurt a retaining wall, they actually can cause some issues. Since most of your tree's growth happens out of sight under the ground, the roots are sometimes able to creep under the retaining wall to crack or even upheave it entirely if it's too close.

Can you plant a tree next to a wall?

The roots of a tree will grow underneath walls. As they do, they can disrupt the leveled ground and cause damage to a wall. The roots force the soil upward placing pressure on the wall. That's why, if you're planting new trees, you should plant them well away from walls and structures.
