What Are Retaining Walls?

If you live in an area with uneven terrain, retaining walls are the perfect solution. A retaining wall is a specially designed structure that holds back soil and prevents erosion on sloped landscapes. From tiered gardens to boundary support, retaining walls provide structural strength and aesthetic value for your outdoor space.

What Is Considered a Retaining Wall?

A retaining wall is built to resist the pressure of the soil behind it. Types include gravity walls, cantilever walls, and segmental retaining walls. Depending on the slope, soil type, and purpose, these walls can vary in height, material, and complexity.

Benefits of Retaining Walls

Many property owners choose retaining walls for durability. If you're deciding whether a retaining wall is right for your property, these benefits may seal the deal:

Erosion control: Protect your soil from washing away during heavy rains or landscaping changes.
Maximized usability: Turn uneven terrain into functional areas like patios, gardens, or walkways.
Added aesthetics: Retaining walls can enhance your landscape's appearance with different materials, styles, and designs.

Improved property value: A well-built retaining wall not only looks great but also protects your investment by preventing costly erosion damage.
Custom design options: Choose from stone, brick, or concrete materials to match your aesthetic preferences.

Things to Consider About Retaining Walls

Before building a retaining wall, our team can help determine if it's the best choice for your needs. It's important to keep these factors in mind to ensure lasting results:

Design and Materials: When designing your wall, consider the style of your property, the purpose of the wall, and the most suitable materials. Options such as natural stone, pavers, and concrete blocks offer flexibility in design and durability.
Drainage: Proper drainage is essential to prevent water buildup behind the wall, which could compromise its stability. Ask about solutions like weep holes or gravel backfill.

Height and Permits: If your retaining wall exceed a certain height, you may need to secure permits or an engineering plan. Our experts can guide you through the process to ensure compliance.
Maintenance: Different materials require varying levels of upkeep. While concrete is low-maintenance, natural stone may need occasional cleaning and sealing to stay in optimal condition.
