Types Of Retaining Walls


Different retaining wall building materials give different advantages and disadvantages. The longevity of different types of retaining walls, however, depend on the building material used, volume of soil held back, structural design, and drainage.



Here are the pros and cons of the common types of retaining walls.



Modular and cinder block retaining walls - these building blocks are relatively cheaper. Installing them is easier for smaller projects, too. They are the most flexible when it comes to design. But, they can't hold back larger volume of soil.

Poured concrete retaining wall - They can handle tremendous amount of soil volume. They can be used to hold back steeper slopes, and they can conform to the contour of the land perfectly. But, they utterly lack style and design needed for landscaping purposes, and they are relatively expensive to build.

Railroad retaining tie and wood plank or round timber - they are among the cheapest choice for retaining wall and are readily available. They also give a rustic appearance to your landscaping design. But, they are the most prone to rotting and structural failure. Improperly treated wood retaining walls are also prone to termite infestation that weakens the structure in a very short time.

Bricks - they are flexible when it comes to adding pattern and texture to your retaining wall. They are also among the cheapest building material for retaining walls. But, they are notorious for collapse and structural failure. They can't be used to hold back larger volume of soil compared to other molded or block building materials.

Depending on your project and the amount you are willing to pitch, there's a right retaining wall for you. Just know the pros and cons of the different types of retaining walls so that you can get the most value for your money in your retaining wall.

Retainer walls are generally used when there is a sloped area that is not usable. The wall creates tiers of usable space. One of the benefits to a retainer wall is the prevention of water runoff. Also, they can enhance any existing landscape.

A representative of DP and ASSOCIATES. observes the slope of the property to determine if and where the walls are needed. DP and ASSOCIATES. recommends the use of non-mortared Pavestone or dry stacked natural stone to build retainer walls. However, if the situation requires it, our stone mason builds beautiful mortared walls.
 

 
 
 


A retainer wall can normally be completed within two to three days, depending on project size and weather conditions.
