Bring Nature into Your Backyard!
Ideas for Custom Fencing & Walls
Walls and fencing control where people, vehicles, and pets travel. They keep things in and keep them out. While their functionality is critical, don’t forget the artistry they lend to your yard and impression they give to those who pass by your home. Walls can also be used within your yard to separate spaces, provide privacy, frame a beautiful distant scene of nature and thus pull it into your back yard as a backdrop. Retaining Walls Retaining walls typically hold back dirt and viewed from only one side. Mountain Paradise recommends keystone retaining walls as the best choice. Typical uses for retaining walls is to level ground to increase more flat space for other landscaping, creating elevated yard sections, and protect your yard from erosion due to steep slopes. • Keystone walls provide a pre-engineered solution for retaining walls and look very nice. • CMU or Masonry Retaining Walls are more expensive due to for the need for footings, concrete-fill, inspections, and are not aesthetically pleasing. • See our blog on retaining walls. Block Walls While these are a staple of hardscaping in our area, we advise you to consider if adding a bit of style to your bock wall or considering a different type of wall make sense in your situation, especially if you want to avoid looking at a block wall. • Consider stuccoing your block wall to simulate bock walls with stucco • Consider adding designs or openings in the wall for style. • Block walls can be made more stylish using colored block, split-block or designs incorporating split-block.

Horse Fences • While horse fences don’t provide much security, they provide a very elegant look and unique style. Hay Bale Walls • This is an old-fashioned wall that has uneven surface appearance but appears very thick (about 18 inches thick) and strong. • Hay-bale, straw-bale, or strawbale walls are made with good size footing with rebar, with hay bales, paper, wired, stuccoed. Adobe Walls • Adobe walls are very traditional in our location. Protecting them with a stucco cap is a useful approach. Cedar Fences • Cedar fences are fairly inexpensive.
