Width of flower beds

10 years ago

Can you share the width/depth of the flowerbeds to the left of the pool? Do you recommend this type of retainer wall between the pool and the flowerbeds? Will this trap to much moisture? Thx.

The width of the planting beds in 5'-0". On this project the wall next to the pool is just a raised water feature wall and not a retaining wall; The planting beds are at the same level as grass. If this was was retaining any earth then you would need to make sure it was designed and installed with the proper water proofing and french drains as needed for moisture control.
