One of, if not the most beautiful material available for a Denver Retaining wall is Natural Stone.
A Natural Stone Retaining Wall is basically exactly what it sounds like, a Retaining Wall made up of Natural Stones.
There are two types of Natural Stone Retaining Walls as you can use the "Rubble" wall which is made of stone of random sizes and shapes fit together tightly and stacked up. The "Cut Stone" method uses Natural Stone which is cut and fit tightly together, this type of wall is capable of being built up higher than is the Rubble Wall.
If you are going for the rustic, natural look the Natural Stone Retaining Wall is the way to go.
In addition to being beautiful a "Cut Stone" Retaining Wall can be very strong and sturdy. There is obviously no risk of rot or infestation for a Natural Stone Wall, so if installed properly, the maintenance is minimal.
There are a few concerns involved with a Natural Stone Retaining Wall. For one, the costs associated are usually quite a bit higher than other materials. The labor is much more intense, as the Natural Stone is very heavy. This slows down the work, and makes the planning and prepping take longer.
