If you're looking to get landscaping done but your property is on a hill with steep terrain, you might be wondering what the best options are. The team at Larix Landscape has a great solution for landscaping on sloping terrain, and the solution is retaining walls.


Retaining walls and terraces add level areas to your sloping land like stair steps, so that you're able to design beautiful landscapes on the flat surfaces upheld by the retaining walls. In fact, this was how ancient Peruvians were able to grow crops on the mountainside at Machu Picchu. No matter how steep a terrain is, terraced retaining walls, if installed properly, are strong enough to hold soil in place for level planting.

We've installed hundreds of retaining walls throughout Victoria BC over the years, so if you want to get started on landscaping your sloping terrain, we're here to help.
