Garden walls are smaller walls usually made with natural stone to hold back a berm area or grade change in your yard. They are an easy, low-maintenance way to add some classy design to the overall look of your property. They are durable—they don’t get damaged by rain or sun. If you’re looking for a visually appealing addition to your yard, consider installing one of the beautiful walls that Monarch Landscaping provides.
