Careful Consideration
Selecting the appropriate material for your retaining wall involves considering factors such as wall height, effective moisture drainage, visual appeal, and personal preferences. We can engage in a detailed discussion about the available options, guiding you to choose the most fitting material for your specific needs.
Varieties of Retaining Walls
Beyond selecting the right material, choosing the appropriate type of retaining wall is paramount. The selection depends on the soil being retained and the desired final appearance. In Kentuckiana, we specialize in tailoring retaining walls to meet the distinctive demands of each property.
We offer customized design and installation for:
- Cantilevered Retaining Walls: This type demands meticulous design and construction, utilizing fewer materials. With a relatively thin wall, it features a base extending into the backfill (heel) and forward beneath the soil (toe).
- Gravity Retaining Walls: A fundamental design leveraging the sheer mass and weight of the wall to secure the soil. While shorter walls may not necessitate additional reinforcement, most versions benefit from a small trench for optimal stability. The simplicity of this design accommodates a broad spectrum of materials and finishes.
- Anchored Retaining Walls: Compatible with various materials and styles, this design secures the wall to the earth using cables or strips.
