Retaining walls can be a beautiful and multifunctional element of home hardscape design, enhancing your outdoor space while also solving frustrating drainage issues.
Ineffective drainage around your home can lead to an excess accumulation of rainwater on your property. When rainwater cannot easily exit your property, it can cause major problems including yard flooding, wet basements, and damage to landscape plantings. Left unchecked, poor drainage can create even more expensive headaches in the future.
If you’re ready to remedy the drainage issues around your home you’ll be glad to know there are more options available than ever before. In fact, you can solve your drainage issues and upgrade your outdoor living space at the same time. The Heinen Landscape team has corrected drainage problems for hundreds of homes around Kansas City, leaving homeowners with thriving landscapes and magazine-worthy outdoor living spaces.

Creative Hardscape Design + Ending Drainage Woes
Retaining walls are one of the most popular methods Heinen landscape professionals use to redirect water and protect properties from flood and erosion damage. There are endless ways to incorporate retaining walls into hardscape design, including using them to create terraced patios and conversation pits.
With expertly-designed retaining walls, Heinen can create comfortable and beautiful outdoor seating areas for you and your family to enjoy throughout the seasons. Since retaining walls are constructed to hold back soil and redirect water, the pros can transform formerly sloped areas of your property into elevated or sunken patio spaces. By adding a flat cap, retaining walls become seat walls, providing additional flexible seating around your new entertainment space.
