Much of the country spends the winter under a thick layer of snow, which means many homeowners don’t think about the condition of their yards until warm weather returns. Although some projects can wait until spring, there are several reasons to install a retaining wall during cold weather. Below are a few reasons why now is the ideal time for this project.

Why You Should Build a Retaining Wall During the Winter

1. Project Flexibility

This means their schedules will be more open and flexible, so they can accommodate your retaining wall, project. They will also have more time to review important aspects of the process like design ideas, material options, and installation techniques.

2. Reduced Risk of Water Damage

Once snow and ice melt, the water could settle at the base of your property and lead to foundation damage or basement flooding. Installing a retaining wall in winter improves yard drainage by redirecting water away from the house. 

3. More Free Time for Other Projects

After a long winter cooped up indoors, are eager to start gardening again in the spring. Installing retaining wall in winter gives you the time to pursue fun projects like planting when warm weather arrives. Plus, the new feature could give you more space for new shrubs and flowers.
