Stone choice changes everything. 🧱 It affects how a retaining wall holds a slope, how pavers withstand foot traffic, and how gravel drains after a Sonoma County rain.
For sloped gardens, consider building shallow plant pockets into the upslope side of a low retaining wall to anchor soil and create layered planting beds. Long runs of wall can include built-in seating to turn terraces into usable outdoor rooms while keeping grades stable.
