SEATING WALLS
Seating walls are lower decorative walls designed to provide additional seating around patios, fire pits, and outdoor living spaces. While they can enhance structure and appearance, their primary purpose is comfort and functionality.
RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls are engineered to support soil, manage elevation changes, and address drainage concerns. They are often used on sloped properties to create level areas and prevent erosion.

Retaining walls do much more than hold back soil. They help manage elevation changes, reduce erosion, improve drainage, and create usable outdoor living space. Whether you're addressing a sloped yard, supporting a patio, or adding structure to your landscape, a professionally designed retaining wall can improve both the functionality and appearance of your property.
At Brickhouse Outdoor Living + Lighting, we design and install retaining walls and seating walls that complement your landscape while providing lasting performance in Nebraska's changing climate.
