EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RETAINING WALL POOLS ​

Retaining wall pools are a fantastic solution if your home is on a sloping block or uneven terrain. As the name suggests, a retaining wall is built around the pool’s perimeter for extra support and strength. The retaining wall helps stabilise the soil around the pool, preventing it from collapsing into the pool. This design allows pools to be built into hillsides, creating an attractive, luxurious and practical feature in your backyard.

Areas Suited for Retaining Wall Around Pools

So, what kind of area is suited for a retaining wall pool? Sloping blocks, uneven terrain, and limited space are all perfect for this kind of pool. Traditional pools require level ground, but a retaining wall pool can be built into a slope, making it an excellent solution for properties with limited space. The wall provides a level surface for the pool to sit on, making it easier to install and maintain. Not only does it help maximise the space in your backyard, but it also creates a unique and stunning focal point.

The Benefits Of A Retaining Wall for A Pool On A Slope

Depending on your preference and design aesthetic, retaining walls can be made from various materials, including concrete, natural stone, and timber. One of the most significant benefits of a retaining wall pool is that it allows you to make the most of your sloping terrain. Without a retaining wall pool, a sloping property would be unusable or would require significant excavation work to level the land, which is an expensive project. On the other hand, a retaining wall pool can be built into the slope, making it an attractive and practical property feature. Another benefit of a retaining wall pool is that it can help reduce erosion risk. The retaining wall helps to stabilise the soil around the pool, preventing it from washing away during heavy rains. This can be especially beneficial for homeowners in areas prone to flash floods or heavy rainfall.
