Q

Minimalist tiers. The repeating forms of smooth, curved concrete retaining walls and monochromatic plantings create a peaceful, contemporary look for this sloped garden. The design both for the walls and the plants — single swaths of one species per tier — creates an effective, restrained result.

Q

Rock gabion. Adding a retaining wall made out of metal cages filled with stones — or another material like leftover chunks of concrete or wood — can be a great way to pack a lot of textural interest into a space. In this backyard, for example, the stone-filled gabion retaining wall contrasts with the smooth exterior siding of the building to make the urban space feel warmer and more earthy.

Q

Fire pit amphitheater. A handsome design of two curved concrete and stucco retaining walls built into the slope forms a dual retaining wall and bench seat. The oversize scale of both the wall and cast-in-place concrete fire pit works well in relation to the expansive views and mature oak woodland for this backyard in Portola Valley, California.

Q

Contemporary wood. Give a classic wood retaining wall an entirely new look by adding horizontally set wood siding. For this project in the Diamond Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, the landscape architects first established the tiers and retained the steep slope with walls made of 4-by-6-inch posts of pressure-treated wood set into 5-inch-deep concrete piers with pressure-treated boards bolted to the back. Then they added horizontal 1-by-4-inch cedar boards, stained a rich mahogany color, for a contemporary finishing touch.

Q

The symmetry of the design — the fountain aligns with a cast concrete gas fire feature and a pool, out of view — creates balance for the backyard. Further, the neutral gray concrete used for the retaining wall and dark steel planters ties in with the home’s materials and colors.

Q

Patio garden. To accommodate a grade change from the upper property line to the pool below, the designers of this Salt Lake City landscape created a retaining wall with built-in planters, benches and a water feature.
