What Is A Retaining Wall?

There are many different uses for retaining walls, but these days, most homeowners use them in ornamental design.

By definition, a retaining wall is a wall that is designed to retain/hold soil.

While retaining walls are, primarily, designed to hold and retain soil, they also serve two other purposes. With a retaining wall, you’re able to shape a landscape so that it’s completely level. This makes it easier to work with the landscape for things like gardening. But, along with that, retaining walls also aid in adding a certain level of elegance and beauty to any landscape that they’re developed in.

Many retaining walls are made with stone and concrete blocks, due to the durability of those materials. But, some people build retaining walls with wood, rocks, wall stones, and bricks. It often depends on the needs of the landscape, and the budget of the retaining wall project.

What Are The

Different Kinds of Retaining Walls?

There are four kinds that are very common. These are gravity retaining walls, sheet piling retaining walls, cantilevered retaining walls, and anchored retaining walls. Each one of those four retaining walls is designed for the same purpose – preventing soil erosion – but fulfills that purpose in a slightly different manner.

Most of the retaining walls that you’ll see are gravity retaining walls. These are the easiest retaining walls to build, and they’re also very effective. What a gravity retaining wall does, is it uses the weight and heft of the materials that comprise the wall, to prevent the soil from eroding and moving off of the landscape.

How is a Retaining Wall Installed?

To install a retaining wall properly, a good foundation must first be developed. Only then, when that foundation has been developed, can the rest of the wall be built. Both of those processes can be time-consuming and somewhat challenging.

Installing a retaining wall isn’t a particularly challenging operation, but it does require a fair amount of time and patience. The reason for this is because, in order to ensure that the retaining wall you build is strong and sturdy, the foundation must be very well-crafted. This requires understanding the landscape that the wall is being built on so that you’re able to understand what the foundation needs to look like, and how the retaining wall should be constructed. In general, it’s usually helpful to call retaining wall experts to get a better idea of what it will require to complete your desired project. Our experts provide:

When that base layer is set up properly, then multiple layers of blocks can be set along with that first layer of blocks. Each layer must be even with the other layer, so as to ensure that the retaining wall is completely level. Setting up the foundation and then constructing the retaining wall are long and often tedious processes. If you aren’t already familiar with how to build a retaining wall, then the process could even become rather difficult, especially if you are working with new familiars.
