Retaining Wall Installation
Durable and attractive retaining walls
Retaining walls are constructed to prevent erosion and flooding in low-lying areas. These structures can be built in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the specific needs of the area they're intended for.
Retaining walls can also provide a scenic edge for your property. When choosing a retaining wall, it's important to consider your specific needs.
For example, you might need a taller wall if you're planning on building in an area with lots of exposure. You'll also want to make sure the wall can support the weight of any landscaping or equipment that will be attached to it.
The types of materials used in retaining walls
In general, retaining walls are made from different types of materials: concrete, earth and stone are all common choices. It's helpful to speak with a professional about which type is best for your project. A poorly chosen material can lead to a number of costly problems down the road, including:
Erosion
This happens when the wall's materials wear away over time, allowing water and soil to flow into the structure and damage it further. If you're planning on using a retaining wall in an area prone to flooding, make sure your chosen material can handle heavy rainfall conditions.
Structural failure
Another common downside of retaining walls is that they can eventually fail due to structural weaknesses in their construction. This could lead to structural failure of the wall itself or even total loss of property if the wall is in a high-risk area. When choosing a retaining wall, it's important to carefully consider the risks involved and weigh them against the benefits of using one.
How retaining walls are used
Retaining walls can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
-Protecting property from erosion and flooding
-As a boundary wall to separate two properties
-Creating an aesthetic edge for your property
-Helping to build up a slope or delineate a property that it built on a slope
There are multiple forms and uses of a retaining wall, so it's important to choose the right construction, materials and contractor to suit your specific needs. If you're not sure which type of retaining wall is best for your project, speak with a professional.
