Retaining Walls

Retaining walls serve an important role in landscaping in New Jersey — preventing erosion and holding back the earth to create more functional space. Just think, instead of having a backyard with an unusable, hard-to-mow hillside, you could have a larger lawn for your kids to play on or you could increase the size and scope of your dream patio.

Freestanding walls are also common in outdoor living spaces. They serve purposes like seating, planting or defining areas of the property. Whether you need a retaining wall out of structural necessity or a freestanding wall to complete your landscaping vision, Horizon Landscape can tackle this project for you.

Many of these wall products mimic the look and feel of natural stone. They are available in many styles, finishes, and colors to suit your tastes.
