Great Retaining Wall Ideas

Retaining walls are walls that are built out of concrete, stone, or some other type of solid material. The purpose of a retaining wall is to hold back and stabilize something that would otherwise move, such as soil. In landscape design, retaining walls are used quite a bit to provide a "layered" look to a landscape.

We've collected some images of retaining walls from the Web, and we'd like to share them here with you. Hopefully they inspire you to come up with some retaining wall designs of your own.



















Advanced Irrigation can also help you design and construct a retaining wall for your landscape. Just call (612) 599-8675 today to schedule your appointment, or complete our online form for a FREE retaining wall estimate.

Dogs Love Sprinklers

Well, most of them do, anyway. On a hot summer day, what's not to love about a stream of cold water? Even if the pressure makes that water a bit harder to subdue than the kind a dog normally finds in a bowl.

A website called Animal's Look has published a collection of images featuring dogs who are either cooling off with, or trying to get a drink from, an ordinary sprinkler system.

Here are a few.
