Retaining Walls

Scenic walls serve many functions, from creating wind shielding and boundaries to accentuating the landscape and retaining sloping ground. G & A Construction will transform a deteriorating wall into a handsome and functional landscape feature. Sloping sites can benefit from the construction of retaining walls to provide more level areas for planting and other uses. In addition, terracing with retaining walls can be both an attractive and functional way to prevent erosion and drainage problems while providing structure to the landscape. Retaining walls also help to buffer traffic and industrial sounds. Retaining walls are one of the most popular and useful additions to the landscape.

Retaining walls can dramatically change the physical structure of a landscape and may require excavation work, especially if landscape elements like waterfalls, pond, or terraces are to be incorporated into the design plan. Soil conditions, weather patterns, and slope must all be factored into the design. It is also essential to allow for proper drainage. In addition, building permits may be required by city codes for walls exceeding specified heights. Structural elements such as foundations, reinforcing rods, and other supports need to be planned carefully to ensure that the wall stays in place.
