Retaining Wall Services FAQs
What goes into planning for a retaining wall?
Plenty of factors. First, we have to determine the height in which the retaining wall is to be built. We have to consider the state of the soil, its grading, the angle of the lot, the groundwater, and the weight of the surcharge loads. Other things to be considered are the materials of the wall itself, the batter, and the setback. The entire process should only be done by professionals so it is best to consult with us and let us handle the work for you.
Why is my current retaining wall chipping?
Retaining walls are meant to be a permanent structure. Properly built ones have a lifespan of at least 50 years without any fancy maintenance. However, several factors might affect the integrity of your existing retaining wall, such as the condition of the soil and the groundwater on your lot. There could also be a lack of a drainage system behind the wall. Too much moisture can compromise the integrity of the wall. That is why there should be a drain behind it. It might be that your current wall was poorly planned. We can do the appropriate repairs or perform an overhaul and build the retaining wall from scratch.
Are curved retaining walls possible?
They certainly are. There are certain retaining wall blocks that can be used to allow for curves. These are especially useful for those who want a more natural-looking landscaping job that has an organic feel to it.
What materials can I choose from for my retaining walls?
You have plenty of options. You can choose from natural stone blocks, precast, concrete, man-made boulders, pavers, or coarse stone aggregates. All of these materials have to be worked around differently, and we have the know-how to pull off the job with whatever material you decide on.
Do I even need retaining walls?
It depends. If you have an exposed basement that needs protection from the rain and other elements, then yes. Structures atop hilly terrain can also benefit from retaining walls because they keep the loose soil from building up around the structure. Retaining walls can also separate spaces to keep everything looking neat and thought-out. If you have a place of business, retaining walls will support and aesthetic appeal to the entire property. It will also keep the site safer by keeping the grading in check.
What is the importance of hiring professionals to install retaining walls?
