Retaining Walls

Used upland of the shoreline, retaining walls are built in order to hold back ground which would otherwise move downwards. Their purpose is to stabilize slopes and provide useful areas at different elevations, e.g. terraces for agriculture, buildings, roads and creeks.

By definition, a retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil when there is a desired change in ground elevation that exceeds the angle of repose of the soil.

The most important consideration in proper design and installation of retaining walls is to recognize and counteract the fact that the retained material is attempting to move forward and downslope due to gravity. This creates lateral earth pressure behind the wall which depends on the angle of internal friction and the cohesive strength of the retained material, as well as the direction and magnitude of movement the retaining structure undergoes.

We offer a number of great-looking, quality stone walls that can transform your property edge into wonderful looking, effective downslope, helping your property drain better and avoid erosion. Call us today for more information!
