Retaining Walls, Patios and other Hardscape Designs

There are a lot of benefits to adding a retaining wall. It makes your property look more attractive, improving its overall aesthetic. This improved appearance combined with its functionality will add to the overall value of your property. When your property contains useful, attractive features, its value will increase.

The purpose of all retaining walls is to hold soil behind them. However, the specific needs will vary depending on the project. Walls can range from small landscape stone walls to surround a garden to enormous soil-retaining projects along a highway.

Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the earth from moving downhill with erosion. The most basic function of a retaining wall is to battle gravity; the lateral force of the slope must be offset in the retaining wall's design.

 

 

 

 

A retaining wall is a strong structure that is made to keep a hill, slope or mound of earth in place. Unlike indoor walls, retaining walls receive pressure horizontally instead of vertically. Retaining walls can be of any height but are usually higher than 3 feet.

 

 

Retaining walls minimize erosion by decreasing the angle of a slope and holding back soil. Erosion can threaten your home's foundation. If the soil around a downhill foundation is washing away, or erosion from a slope is compacting an uphill foundation, a retaining wall can help.

A retaining wall will fail when it is unable to withstand the force on it created by the soil behind it. A retaining wall failure can be the result of an inadequate design for the wall or the improper construction of the wall.
