Various types of retaining walls that we design and build include:

Small Block Retaining Wall

The decision to employ a small block wall as the best option can be very relevant for properties built than are build on sloping areas or on hills. This choice of building material delivers safety in a landscaped area, and it can also provide the flexibility for an interesting variety of design options, including for elevated terrains, and planter areas. This is a popular option because of the versatility of small blocks and how they can blend with existing landscaped layouts.

Concrete Block Retaining Wall

This is a very good option if the retaining wall needs to be capable of withstanding the enormous and constant pressure that a heavy job subjects it to. This type of wall can also be referred to as a locking (or interlocking) block system. Compared to the other types of materials, concrete block retaining walls are most preferred, primarily because of their versatility, durability, and strength.

Concrete-made block walls are available in a wide variety of choices in terms of creativity of the design options and styles. Concrete retaining walls will likely cost more than other building materials, but the lifespan and continued durability make it a worthwhile option to consider.

Brick Retaining Wall

There are quite a few good reasons for the popularity of brick retaining walls as a choice. For example, for many decision makers they find that brick walls are cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing, flexible in design, size, and shape, and the skilled tradesmen required are usually readily available in the market. An appealing feature of constructing a brick retaining wall is how well they can blend in with an existing, traditional home, and established landscapes. Plus, due to the fact that they can be colored, embodies a warm and welcoming appeal when comparing this other retaining wall materials.

Sheet Piling Retaining Wall

When the area you require a retaining wall for has limited space, then a wall constructed from sheet pilings is certainly a viable option to consider. These are normally thin metal wall panels that are installed directly into the earth. They are highly durable and do have a long lifespan. However, this type of wall is usually employed for softer terrains, that may not be able to properly handle a heavier option, for example.

Gravity Retaining Wall

Gravity retaining walls can be the best option if it is required to resist incredible amount of constant pressure it is going to be subjected, to from the earth it is to hold back. The walls are designed to support their own stability though the force of gravity it employs, from the weight it bears from the building materials alone. A gravity retaining wall can be constructed from a variety of materials. Large boulders, natural stones, formed concrete, interlocking blocks are some of the most popular.

Wood / Timber Retaining Wall

Wood (aka Timber) retaining walls can be the perfect option if you’re looking to achieve strength and a rustic appeal to your landscaped area. Timber, although long lasting and very durable to a point, won’t have the longevity or durability of most other options. There is a reputation of degrading sooner than other options, such as concrete. At one point a timber wall had a reputation of being the most preferred option because wood materials were inexpensive. That is not quite the same case now as wood has soared in price recently, as supply chain issues evolved. A benefit of a wood retaining wall is that they can blend in perfectly with the natural beauty of an environment.

Natural Stone Retaining Wall

To use natural stone is a great option for embankments. By being able to use this type of building material, you will actually lower the hydrostatic pressure it can be subjected to, that is caused by any wet soil the wall is holding back. This option is also considered as one of the best materials to engage for managing rain flow, as it can be designed to avoid any excessive flooding. They are commonly preferred when adding aesthetically pleasing accents within a landscape, while at the same time delivering a solid and safe stone retaining wall to hold garden plantings together.

Poured Concrete Retaining Wall

At the heart of our construction projects lie the poured concrete retaining walls, a signature element that combines practicality with visual appeal. Our approach to building these walls centers around crafting a structure that fulfills its essential role in restraining soil or water while simultaneously elevating the beauty of the surrounding environment.

The standout feature of poured concrete is its remarkable design flexibility. In contrast to segmented retaining walls, poured concrete boasts the ability to be crafted into almost any desired shape, offering a uniform and sleek appearance.

This adaptability enables us to construct walls that go beyond the conventional straight and angular forms. We can incorporate curves and other intricate designs, meeting the unique aesthetic preferences of each client.

We devote considerable attention to the final touches of these walls. Options range from a sleek, polished surface for a contemporary vibe to a rougher texture that emulates the look of natural stone.

Additionally, the possibility of adding colors to the concrete opens up further avenues for personalization. This customization capability ensures that every project we embark on is distinct and resonates with our clients' visions.
