About Us

Unsure If A Retaining Wall Is Right For You?

A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil and prevent erosion on sloped properties. It is important because it helps manage soil stability, prevents landslides, and can create level areas for landscaping, patios, and driveways. Retaining walls also enhance the aesthetic appeal of a property and can add value by creating usable outdoor space.

  • Your property has steep slopes: A retaining wall can create level areas and prevent soil erosion.
  • You experience soil erosion or runoff: Retaining walls manage water flow and stabilize soil.
  • You want to create additional usable space: Retaining walls can create flat areas for gardens, patios, or driveways.
  • You need to prevent landslides: On properties with significant elevation changes, retaining walls provide essential soil support.

Maintenance for retaining walls includes:

  • Regular Inspections: Check for signs of damage, such as cracks or bulging.
  • Drainage Maintenance: Ensure drainage systems remain clear to prevent water buildup behind the wall.
  • Vegetation Management: Remove plants that could cause root damage to the wall.
  • Repairs: Address any minor issues promptly to prevent them from becoming major problems.

 

Hiring a professional ensures:

  • Expert Design: Professionals can design a wall that meets your specific needs and complements your landscape.
  • Proper Installation: Correct installation is crucial for the wall’s durability and effectiveness.
  • Quality Materials: Professionals have access to high-quality materials and know which are best for your project.
  • Long-Term Stability: Professional construction ensures the wall will withstand environmental pressures and last for years.
  • Compliance with Regulations: Professionals are aware of local building codes and regulations, ensuring your retaining wall is compliant.
