Retaining Wall Installation

Building a functional and beautiful retaining wall requires a thoughtful approach. Our process starts by excavating the area behind the planned wall, ensuring proper drainage. We then build a solid base with crushed gravel for stability. Next,depending on the design, we'll install either concrete blocks or wall stones, meticulously leveling each course and filling the core with gravel for reinforcement. Drainage pipes might be incorporated behind the wall to address water runoff.Finally, the wall is capped with top stones, creating a finished look and a stunning addition to your landscape.

Retaining Walls

Blocks ( Popular )

Concrete block retaining walls offer a durable and versatile solution for managing sloping terrain. Constructed from interlocking concrete blocks, these walls provide excellent support for soil and create defined spaces in your landscape. They are known for their strength, longevity, and cost-effectiveness. Concrete block walls offer a wide range of design options to suit different styles and preferences.

Boulders ( Popular )

Boulder retaining walls offer a natural and rustic aesthetic that complements many landscaping styles. Constructed from large, irregularly shaped stones, these walls provide a unique and visually appealing solution for managing sloping terrain. While they offer a stunning appearance, it's important to note that boulder walls require expert installation to ensure stability and safety. Proper drainage and backfill are crucial for the long-term performance of the wall.

Timbers

Timber retaining walls offer a natural and rustic aesthetic, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. Constructed from pressure-treated wood, these walls provide a warm, earthy feel that complements various landscaping styles. While they offer a visually appealing option, it's important to note that timber walls may require more frequent maintenance compared to other materials due to potential weathering and decay. Proper installation, including adequate drainage and backfill, is essential for the longevity of a timber retaining wall.

Care + warranty

Care

Proper care is essential to maintain the integrity and appearance of your retaining wall. Regularly inspect your wall for signs of erosion, cracking, or shifting. Clear away debris and vegetation to prevent damage and maintain drainage. For concrete block walls, sealing can help protect against stains and weathering. Timber walls may require periodic staining or sealing to prevent rot. Avoid planting large trees or shrubs near the wall, as their roots can cause damage. Addressing any issues promptly will help prolong the life of your retaining wall.
