At Ankora Retaining Wall, we understand that a retaining wall is more than just a functional structure — it is an integral part of your property’s aesthetic. That is why we offer our clients two distinct face options: Cedar Face and Stone Face. These options allow us to deliver retaining walls that are strong, durable, visually appealing, and tailored to your project’s unique style. You can visit our Ankora wall blocks page for more information on the specific block specifications,
Cedar Face: Natural Warmth and Timeless Charm
A cedar face is a perfect choice for those who want to add warmth and a natural look to their property. Cedar’s rich, earthy tones blend seamlessly with outdoor landscapes, making it ideal for residential or commercial spaces that aim to create a welcoming and organic vibe.
Advantages of a Cedar Face:
- Natural Aesthetic: The wood grain and warm tones of cedar offer a rustic and inviting look.
- Versatility: Complements outdoor gardens, decks, and wooded surroundings beautifully.
- Customizable Finish: Cedar can be left untreated for a natural weathered look or stained to preserve its color and enhance durability.
Best Uses:
Cedar faces are a popular choice for landscaping projects, garden retaining walls, or properties that emphasize natural materials in their design.
Rock Face: Strength with a Bold, Textured Look
The rock face option offers a rugged and durable aesthetic that mimics the natural beauty of stone. This option is perfect for projects requiring a strong visual presence or where the wall is a key design element.
Advantages of a Rock Face:
- Durability: The rock-like texture gives the appearance of solid stone, enhancing the structure’s visual strength.
- Timeless Appeal: A rock face adds character and elegance, blending well with both modern and traditional architecture.
- Low Maintenance: Its rugged texture resists weathering and requires minimal upkeep over time.
Best Uses:
Rock faces are ideal for large-scale retaining walls, public infrastructure projects, or properties seeking a bold, striking aesthetic.
Choosing the Right Face for Your Project
Selecting between cedar and rock face depends on your project’s overall design and purpose. Consider the following when making your decision:
- Environment: Which option will blend best with the surrounding landscape?
- Aesthetic Goals: Are you aiming for a warm, natural vibe or a bold, structural appearance?
- Long-Term Maintenance: Cedar offers a natural look that can evolve, while rock provides a maintenance-free texture.
