Trending Rock Wall Design Ideas To Uplift Your Property’s Appearance

Creativity begins where calculation ends. Resultantly, creative minds often exceed expectations, calculations, and computation. The latter is clearly apparent in modern rock wall designs. As we speak, creative construction minds continue to go against the norm and blend numerous landscapes to create architectural masterworks and splendors.

The list below contains just a few of these wonders:

1. Centerpiece

Decor enthusiasts are certainly familiar with this front yard display structure. Usually, a centerpiece may take the form of a round flower bed, fountain, a small tree, or even a mini mournament. These structures are usually constructed in the center of a front yard to catch a passerby or visitor’s attention.

However, these structures gain a whole new level of attention when they are crafted within a circular retaining or rock wall. Thus, add a rock wall centerpiece to your front yard and proudly watch your visitors ‘oh’ in amazement.

If the property in question has a huge front area, construct a rockwall centerpiece at a central point where all pathways or walking tracks intersect.

2. Rocky Stairs

As mentioned earlier, sloppy terrains or hilly areas are pretty unattractive to people. If one side of your property’s front yard is steep or hilly, construct stairs featuring rock walls on either side to make the area easily accessible and beautiful. For an added curb appeal, you can add curves or bends to the staircase. When it comes to variety, you have a list of rock types to choose from.

Besides framing the sides of the staircase, you can also extend the rockwall to cover the steep part of your yard.

3. Two-In-One Rock Wall Outdoor Kitchen

Are you facing a space dilemma and can either construct a rockwall or an outdoor kitchen? Well, do not compromise on your wish of having both because modern rock wall installers have deduced an excellent solution to this problem.

Ask your retaining wall constructor to shape your retaining wall into an outdoor kitchen. Consequently, the contractors will incorporate stoves, ovens, and other kitchen necessities into the rock wall. Of course, the upper area should be smooth for uninterrupted cooking time. As a final touch, you can grow a raised herb garden behind the wall.
