Planning To Build a Retaining Wall
How tall should your wall be? Which materials
would be the best to use? Is the wall primarily
aesthetic, or does it have some other function?
Until you step outdoors and take a closer look,
you won't be able to determine the answers to
these questions. It must go without saying
that you have decided where to put the wall. A
professional installation can help by utilizing a
stick, a string line, or stakes to create a
visual image. Your installer will benefit from
knowing the shape and estimated length of the
retaining wall because it will assist them in
recommending the best materials.

Picking Retaining Wall Material
Among the most widely used components for
retaining walls are Concrete Always
fashionable, inquire about concrete block wall
systems with your contractor. Another option to
think about is maybe concrete with a veneer of
stone. Both concrete and stone veneer have their
advantages and disadvantages. They take a little
longer to construct since concrete must first be
poured and given time to harden before the stone
veneer can be added. When finished, your wall
will appear to be made entirely of stone.

Pre-cast stackable block
With an even appearance and symmetry of the same
sized and finished blocks, stackable concrete
block provides the same elegance as pavers. When
curves are needed, these walls work great because
they are pretty simple to construct.
Brick
Brick is an excellent option, but for optimal
results, engage a skilled bricklayer with
retaining wall construction experience.

Stone
Stone is available in various materials, hues,
and cuts. They have the same benefits as brick
and must be constructed appropriately with
sufficient drainage to prevent cracking.
Boulders
They are a beautiful addition to a colonial or
modern yards cape. Heavy machinery will need to
be hired to move rocks weighing several tones.
