Retaining Walls

Hold back soil and prevent erosion on sloped or uneven terrain

Retaining Wall

Structure

Typically constructed from materials like concrete, stone, or wood and used to create level surfaces, manage water drainage, and enhance landscaping. Retaining walls can also provide structural support for roads, pathways, and gardens, helping to stabilize the land and prevent landslides or shifting soil. They come in various designs and heights, depending on the specific needs of the site

Foundation

Typical footing conditions for a retaining wall generally require excavation of at least 3 times the depth of the wall face and backfilled with compacted road base

Drainage

A retaining wall must be able to resist the forces of the soil and water behind it. If the soil becomes too wet, it can cause instability, which can lead to the collapse of the wall. A proper drainage system will help to prevent this by removing excess water from the soil and keeping it dry
