Natural Stone Retaining Walls

Natural stones are a great option for embankments. Employing this type of building material will actually lower the hydrostatic pressure it is subjected to that is caused by any wet soil it’s holding back. It is also considered as one of the best materials for managing rain flow, by preventing 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.

Stone Block Retaining Walls

The decision to use stone blocks as the best option is specifically for properties built on hills or sloping areas. Not only does this choice of building material deliver safety in a landscaped area, it also offers an interesting variety of design options for elevated terrains and planter areas. This is a popular option because of the versatility of stone blocks and how they can blend with existing landscaped layouts.

Brick Retaining Walls

The popularity of brick retaining walls as a choice for many is that they are cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing, flexible in design, shape and size, and are easily available in the market. A feature of a brick retaining wall is how well they can be constructed to blend in well with existing, traditional houses and landscapes.

And due to the fact that they can be colored, embodies a warm and welcoming appeal when comparing this other retaining wall materials.

Concrete Block Retaining Walls

This is a very good option if the retaining wall needs to do a heavy job. This type of wall can also be referred to as a locking block system. Compared to the other types of materials, concrete block retaining walls are most preferred, primarily because of their versatility and strength.

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

Poured Concrete Retaining Walls

This is a great solution for massive commercial, industrial, or municipal jobs that may be seen along the highways for example. The skill to build these incredible structures needs to be at it's best, as so many things can go wrong - especially in a rainy environment like the West Coast. 

These walls are not always the best choice for a residential retaining wall as they can crack and are hard to repair. If you're looking for a concrete retaining wall for a residential project, then we suggest using an interlocking block system.

Gabion Retaining Walls

Gabion retaining walls represent a cutting-edge and eco-friendly approach to managing slope stabilization and controlling erosion in various outdoor and civil engineering settings. These structures are crafted from wire mesh containers filled with sturdy materials like stones, rocks, or similar robust substances.

Their distinctive construction offers a harmonious combination of durability, adaptability, and visual attractiveness, which explains their popularity in specific scenarios. A notable strength of gabion walls lies in their capacity to endure and adjust to the earth's natural shifts. This adaptability renders them perfect for locales that are susceptible to soil movement, including earthquake-prone areas or places with less stable soil compositions.

Wood Retaining Walls

Wood retaining walls are a fantastic option if you want to have strength and a rustic appeal to your landscaped area. They won’t have the durability of most other options, however. At one point they 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 over the last couple of years. A benefit of a wood retaining wall is that they can blend in perfectly with the natural beauty of an environment.

Sheet Piling Retaining Walls

So, if the area you require a retaining wall has limited space, then a wall constructed from sheet pilings could be the best option. These are thin wall metal surfaces that are installed directly into the ground. These are typically employed for softer terrains that may not be able to properly handle a heavier option, for example. They are highly durable and have a long lifespan.

Gravity Retaining Walls

Gravity retaining walls are a great option if a requirement of the wall is to resist incredible 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 such as stones, concrete, interlocking blocks, to list a few.

A solid, reliable retaining wall is a critical component of proper yard management and maintenance. They serve as a border for your property as well as keeping soil from eroding.
