BENEFITS OF A RETAINING WALL
Retaining walls can transform a simple, nonfunctioning graded hill on your property into a plateau that can slow down the runoff of water from your home and serves to protect your property from flooding whenever there is a heavy rainfall. They also provide additional usable space that can ultimately be used to create a walkway, a patio, a garden, or even just a more open area for playing or relaxing in your yard.
If your home is located on the bottom of a hill you certainly want to be able to protect your property from any risk of flooding. A properly built and installed retaining wall can help to protect your home and property from flooding and the overall risk of erosion, which can cause a great deal of damage to your home and property over a period of time.
If your home has a walk out basement or a garage entrance under your home, you may need to build a retaining wall to protect the entrance to both and ensure that the land is perfectly level.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT RETAINING WALL AND MATERIALS
There are two very common types of retaining walls: engineered walls and gravity walls. Engineered walls stabilize your property’s soil by way of a specialized material called Geogrid that is specifically designed to reinforce the soil and retain the slope of a hill. The wall is finished with a veneer that presents with a beautiful final finish.
Gravity walls utilize the weight of a stone material or a block to maintain the integrity of the wall and retain the dirt and soil. There are a variety of materials you can choose from when designing and building your retaining wall, including natural stone, concrete, wood timbers and railroad ties to name a few. Each material creates a different look and an entirely different function as well.
