Benefits of Building Walls with Cottage Stone Blocks
When it comes to choosing a material for a retaining wall, there are many factors to consider, but, when it comes to quality and versatility, a concrete retaining wall block is hard to beat. Here are just a few of the many reasons why concrete blocks have been a primary building material for centuries:
Durability
Concrete is a durable building material because it can withstand a lot of pressure and force. It is also resistant to other forces like the elements, fire, rust, and rot. This makes it a great choice for building retaining walls, which need to be able to withstand a lot of pressure over time.
Low Maintenance
Concrete is a very low-maintenance building material. Unlike materials such as wood, it doesn’t rot or decay, and it doesn’t require painting or staining to keep its appearance. This means that once it has been constructed, your work is done – you don’t need to worry about it anymore.
Design Flexibility
Concrete is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of ways to create retaining walls that are both functional and attractive. Not only can blocks combine to accommodate almost any shape, but you can also choose from a variety of colors to create a wall that matches your home’s exterior or your garden’s color scheme.
As mentioned, the above qualities are only a short description of the many benefits of including concrete masonry in your landscaping designs. Other popular assets of concrete masonry include eco-friendly, cost-effectiveness, strength, and high thermal mass.
3 Reasons To Use Cottage Stone Walls For Landscaping
Concrete blocks are a versatile landscaping tool that can be used to create a variety of retaining wall designs. Homeowners and landscapers can choose from a variety of block sizes and shapes to create a wall that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. In addition to aesthetics, retaining walls also provide many practical benefits that make them very popular in landscaping. Below are 3 of the most common reasons homeowners should consider using concrete block retaining walls in their landscaping.
Prevents Erosion
By using concrete blocks to build a retaining wall, you can help to prevent erosion. The blocks create a solid surface that the soil can cling to, preventing it from being carried away by rain or wind. Additionally, the weight of the blocks helps to keep the soil in place and further reduces the risk of erosion.
Controls Flooding
Concrete blocks are an effective way to control flooding. They are placed in a row, with the blocks fitting tightly together so there is no space for water to flow through. The weight of the blocks and the soil behind them create a barrier that stops flooding in its tracks. In addition, the blocks can be placed in a stepped design, which helps to direct the flow of water away from your home or business building.
Increases Usable Space
Concrete blocks are an excellent way to increase usable space. They can be used to create retaining walls, which help to hold soil in place and carve out spaces for features like patios and gardens. Concrete blocks can also be used to create terraced areas, which are perfect for plants and flowers.
