Retaining walls are firm structures which are used to support aggregates or soil. Functionally, retaining walls are perfect to contain material, as well as help with changes in elevation, therefore the ground can be kept “flat” which is very helpful in areas with steep slopes.
Retaining Walls can be used as a visual feature, complimenting other parts or as a stand-alone feature. Upon installation, there is much attention to be paid to small detail since they will be supporting a lot of weight, all the while maintaining a symmetrical look. Extreme attention and attention to detail should be applied when doing retaining wall installation since they do bear a lot of weight and safety is key.
There are primarily two choices of designs for your Retaining walls. First is a natural stone retaining wall, made from either armour stones or natural stones that were man-cut. Natural stone walls are usually sturdy, lasting pretty much permanently, and have a beautiful natural look. However, they do require machinery to install, especially some of the larger sizes. The second are man-made retaining walls, made from poured concrete. Their advantage is a clean and symmetrical look. There are both textured and smooth variations, as well as many colours to choose from. For these ones, however, the installation must be perfect otherwise they collapse over time.
