We believe that not all retaining walls are created equal, part of our business is repairing the collapsed walls of our competitors and those do it your selfers who took on too big a project. Proper site evaluation and planning is needed to assure that retaining walls are built to withstand hydrostatic pressure and forces of nature on a daily basis. It’s also important to consider human factors such as how the site will be utilized and any plans for future construction or renovation (which can add more pressure to the wall).Retaining Walls can fail for several reasons such as poor drainage, the incorrect amount or type of back fill, neglecting to use geogrid, poor compaction or laying the base incorrectly and selecting the wrong type of block. If a Retaining Wall is failing, having it repaired can be costly as it requires the wall to be carefully torn down and rebuilt.
Here at Labor Tech Landscaping. we use nothing but the finest materials and our own proprietary building system to ensure that your retaining wall is fit to last a lifetime.
Natural Stone Retaining Walls
Common uses of natural stone are decorative columns, steps, sidewalks and garden walls. Natural stone retaining walls are normally dry stacked meaning we don’t use concrete as it may eventual crack and look bad. The most common materials used are granite, limestone, flagstone and fieldstone. Larger slabs of natural stone can be used for retention walls though mostly its used for esthetics to achieve that earthy green landscaping look.
Concrete Block Retaining Walls
Because concrete block retaining walls are fabricated, there are many different patterns, colors and sizes to choose from. There are three main manufacturers that we deal with and they all have their own unique product : Belgard, Pavestone, and Versa-Lok.
Common uses for retaining walls are:
- erosion control
- raised garden beds
- to encircle trees
- to raise elevations
- slopes and drop offs
