Protection and Visual Elevation
Grading is among the most important factors that dictate your landscape's shape. A hill or peak in your yard doesn’t necessarily need to be ploughed down to create your ideal space. A retaining wall offers you the option to work with the property that you have. Often, it does more than just protect the soil behind it from wearing away. This kind of wall is also a naturally structured area that can add a dynamic visual element.
Retaining wall blocks come in many different shapes and sizes depending on the unique needs of your outdoor landscape. They are made of solid materials that can withstand increasingly wet or windy conditions, ensuring they maintain their shape and formation.
The installation of these blocks is best left to the professionals. The sheer complexity of your project and the heft of this material can make it challenging to manage. At Canlok, our professional services are here to help you, from your initial visit to our showroom looking for retaining wall blocks in Ottawa to the first time you look upon your completed hardscaping masterpiece.
Types of Retaining Wall Blocks
While the overall purpose of retaining walls is essentially the same, that doesn’t mean they all need to look the same. We carry various types of blocks to match or contrast the design and aesthetics of your yard.
-
Enduracolour blocks have a natural sandy appearance and undergo a specific process to achieve their unique colour and texture. This Unilock option is ideal for homeowners looking to add a certain depth of style to their landscape.
-
Heavy-duty retaining wall blocks are designed to withstand the harshest conditions without shifting or settling. These options can be built higher depending on your needs and present a unique profile compared to typical retaining wall blocks you might find in Ottawa.
-
Standard paver finish blocks closely resemble some of our horizontal paver options. The completed look of these materials can transform a yard or blend in with other hardscaping materials that might already be present.
Choosing the Right Retaining Wall Blocks
Homeowners might be interested in adding these structures to their yards for numerous reasons. Most often, it is because of grading and erosion concerns for their property.
