If you’ve always wanted an in ground swimming pool in your Central Florida’s home, but thought your backyard didn’t have enough space because your yard has a slope or an elevation challenge. A retaining wall just may be the solution, it will hold back the dirt, creating a flat surface, so a swimming pool can be constructed.
How are Retaining Walls used for building a swimming pool?
If a yard doesn’t have enough flat space to install an in ground swimming pool, a retaining wall holds back the soil, leaving enough smooth surface in the yard for a spectacular swimming pool. The retaining walls prevents any soil from going into the pool area.
They also make a beautiful addition to the space, from creating a bench to enjoy the pool, it can act as a privacy fence, backdrop for a shower, a focal point, incorporated into the landscaping, even a relaxing water wall fountain with water flowing into the pool or even a rock waterfall.
A retaining wall can add aesthetic value to your pool and help transform your backyard into an exquisite space, the oasis of your dreams. There are many options when it comes to the materials used for the retaining wall.
Materials that complement your existing home and incorporate the colors of the new pool. Boulders and flat rocks look natural and allow for drainage and they can last for decades without much maintenance.
Timbers usually pressured treated, though not suitable for all applications, depending on the slop and the weight of the soil pushing on the timbers.
Concrete slab and block are the most durable. Concrete is poured into place to create the retaining wall. Concrete blocks are interlocking and make an extremely strong wall, is one the most popular options.
