Retaining Walls

Let's talk Retaining Walls!

Why Choose Living Design & Build for Your Retaining Walls?

When it comes to constructing a retaining wall, the choice of builder can significantly impact both the aesthetic and structural integrity of your outdoor space. Living Design & Build stands out as the premier choice for retaining wall construction, thanks to our meticulous attention to detail and our commitment to excellence. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your retaining walls not only enhance the visual appeal of your property but also provide lasting durability and functionality.

Why Install Retaining Walls on Concrete Footings?

Concrete Footings for Stability and Durability

At Living Design & Build, we understand that the foundation is crucial for the longevity of your retaining wall. That’s why we install our concrete block retaining walls on robust concrete footings. Concrete footings provide a solid base that distributes the weight of the wall evenly, preventing settling and shifting over time. This method ensures that your retaining wall remains stable and secure, even under the pressure of soil and water.

The Importance of Geo Grid Reinforcement

Geo Grid: Enhancing Structural Integrity

For walls that require additional reinforcement, we utilize geo grid technology. Geo grids are synthetic materials placed between layers of soil to improve soil stability and wall strength. This reinforcement is essential for retaining walls that need to support significant loads or are built on challenging terrain. By integrating geo grid into our construction process, Living Design & Build ensures that your retaining wall has enhanced durability and resistance to lateral forces.

The Role of Proper Backfill with 3/4 Crushed Stone

Optimal Backfill for Drainage and Stability

Proper backfill is a critical component of retaining wall construction. At Living Design & Build, we use 3/4 crushed stone as backfill material. This choice provides superior drainage capabilities, allowing water to flow freely through the wall and reducing hydrostatic pressure behind it. Proper drainage is vital in preventing water accumulation, which can lead to wall failure and soil erosion. The use of 3/4 crushed stone also enhances wall stability by preventing the backfill from compacting too much, which can otherwise exert additional pressure on the retaining wall.

Effective Wall Drainage Solutions

Wall Drainage: Preventing Water Damage

Effective drainage is crucial to the longevity of your retaining wall. At Living Design & Build, we implement comprehensive drainage solutions to manage water flow behind the wall. This includes installing drainage pipes and weep holes to facilitate water movement away from the wall, reducing the risk of hydrostatic pressure buildup. Proper drainage prevents water damage and ensures that your retaining wall remains structurally sound and visually appealing for years to come.

Types of Retaining Walls We Build

Type One

Concrete Block Retaining Walls

Concrete Block Walls: Durable and Versatile

Concrete block retaining walls are a popular choice due to their durability and versatility. Living Design & Build uses high-quality concrete blocks to create walls that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Concrete block walls offer a range of design options, from simple, straight lines to intricate patterns. They are ideal for various applications, including terracing, garden beds, and erosion control. Our expert team ensures precise installation for a seamless and robust final product.

Type Two

Armour Stone Retaining Walls

Armour Stone: Natural Beauty and Strength

For a more natural look, consider an armour stone retaining wall. Armour stone is a type of large, rugged stone that provides a rustic and visually striking appearance. Living Design & Build carefully selects and arranges armour stones to create a wall that not only serves its functional purpose but also enhances the natural beauty of your landscape. These walls are particularly effective for managing steep slopes and adding character to your outdoor space.

Tye Three

Boulder Retaining Walls

Boulder Walls: Majestic and Robust

Boulder retaining walls are an excellent choice for those seeking a grand, natural aesthetic. Boulder walls use large, irregularly shaped rocks to create a dramatic and timeless look.

Our team carefully selects and places each boulder to ensure stability and longevity, making your retaining wall a focal point of your landscape.
