More than just aesthetics, these types of structures can maximise the use of your property.
Take for example one that’s located on a steep slope. Retaining walls enable you to flatten certain areas for the safe construction of buildings. These include sheds, houses, and a viewing deck.
More importantly, such walls hold back or “retain” soil and keep it from falling. By doing so, they provide much-needed stability for structures erected on sloping ground.
If your property is on a riverbank or close to running water, retaining walls can also prevent erosion due to washing of ground. You can have peace of mind knowing your home or establishment will not crumble and be swept away, especially during severe rainfall.
Enjoy walkways and pathways that stand the test of time regardless of foot traffic. Among other things, we ensure your pavements have a strong, even gravel base for maximum strength and stability.
When it comes to providing first-rate landscape construction, we leave no stone unturned. Our Bobcats and excavators enable us to easily carry out a variety of landscape construction work.
Yes, you can. You just need to consider the effect of the new layer’s weight and height on the existing one. Don’t forget to slope the overlay, too, for better drainage of the slab.
Longevity will depend on the material. For example, a concrete retaining wall can last from 50 to 100 years while a brick one may last for over a century. However, workmanship quality also affects durability as much as the material.
Yes, it is. It’s because concrete is a very solid base material. Cement’s strength and stability make it an excellent foundation for subsequent pavements above, particularly asphalt.
