Landscaping walls add dimension and definition to your outdoor living spaces. Whether utilizing a retaining wall to control the slope of your yard, or simply to add dimensional embellishments to an outdoor living space, landscape wall products represent an important element of contemporary outdoor living design.
Terraced Design
Retaining walls present a way to convert a sloped yard into usable space through the creation of terraces. Terraced design can also be used to create a raised or sunken outdoor room.
Vertical Gardens
A rising trend in outdoor design, vertical gardens take landscaping to new heights and add a tremendous amount of visual interest and dimension to an outdoor living area.
Defining a Room
Landscaping and seating walls can help define an outdoor living area or create a transition from one outdoor room to the next.
Fire & Water Features
Walls can be used to incorporate the elements of fire or water into an outdoor design in a variety of creative ways. Fire features and water features become a visual anchor point and add to the ambiance and functionality of a design.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens are one of the fastest growing segments of the outdoor living industry, and for good reason. An outdoor kitchen exponentially improves the functionality of an outdoor space, as well as the aesthetics.
Embellishments
Landscaping and retaining walls can be used to add any number of coordinating embellishments to an outdoor design. Embellishments like columns, mailboxes, steps, and raised planters can help tie an outdoor design together.
Built-In Seating
According to the American Society of Landscape Architects, built-in seating has been one of the top trends for the last few years. In addition to providing permanent seating, a seat wall can also help to define an outdoor room.

Wondered what type of edging you have to replace pool coping tiles?
Belgard offers a number of copings and trim accessories, but the exact selection varies by region. Put in your zip code on the home page of http://www.Belgard.com, and go to the finishing touches page to see what’s available in your region. Some retaining wall caps can also be used as pool trim.

Can you recommend a local contractor using Belgard on the West side of Orlando? We are looking at a 50 foot retaining wall and maybe 5 feet high. We live on a hill and the house foundation is exposed from years of the dirt washing downward. We need to raise the entire side of the house on one side which has a steep hill; the other side of the house is on flat land.

Hi Christi,
Which Belgard retaining wall systems( about 30 inches tall) do you recommend for use with Belgard Lafitt Grana Slab Rio Blend pavers?
. For a short wall, they could do Weston, Easton (untumbled Weston), or Melville. All are 4” H blocks and would allow for 6-8 courses. 2’ is the maximum recommendation for height, but it it’s essentially a planter style wall it should be fine if it’s properly installed. They all come in a variety of colors as well that will compliment the Rio colored pavers. I’d suggest that they look on the website and find a local dealer to visit.
If they need more of retaining wall, Diamond and Tandem Ashlar would also work well.
Hope this helps
