Concrete Masonry Unit Retaining Wall

Retaining walls made of concrete masonry units offer a number of benefits, especially when they are finished with either stucco or veneer. Here are three key benefits:

1. Durability: These units are made from poured concrete that is cured and then cut into standardized blocks, making them able to withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. In addition, they are resistant to pests and other types of damage, ensuring that your retaining wall will remain in good condition for years to come.

2. Stucco or Veneer Finish: CMU retaining walls can be finished with either stucco or veneer to give them a sleek and attractive appearance. Stucco is a plaster-like material that is applied in layers to the surface of the wall, creating a smooth and uniform finish. Veneer, on the other hand, is a thin layer of stone or brick that is applied to the surface of the wall to give it a more natural look. Both of these finishes are available in a range of colors and styles, so you can choose the look that best fits the aesthetic of your property.

3. Low-maintenance: Masonry unit retaining walls do not require regular painting or staining, and any necessary repairs can be easily made by adding additional units to the wall. This makes them a cost-effective option that will save you time and money in the long run.
