Retaining Walls
Retaining walls not only need to be functional and sturdy but they should be aesthetically pleasing! Your retaining wall will be built with the timber of your choosing to match your landscaping.
Retaining walls are structures designed to hold back or retain soil and prevent erosion on sloped or uneven landscapes. They are commonly used in landscaping and civil engineering projects to create level areas, provide structural support, and prevent soil movement. Jamie’s Fencing installs concrete and timber retaining walls.
Retaining walls for your home
Here are some key features and purposes of retaining walls:
Soil Retention: The primary function of a retaining wall is to stabilise and retain soil. They are built to resist the pressure exerted by the soil and prevent it from sliding or collapsing downhill. Retaining walls are particularly useful in areas with steep slopes or elevation changes.
Terrace Creation: Retaining walls can be used to create terraced areas on sloping landscapes. By constructing multiple retaining walls at different levels, the land can be transformed into flat or gently sloping terraces, allowing for easier access, landscaping, or agricultural activities.
Erosion Control: Retaining walls help prevent erosion by holding soil in place. They can be strategically placed to redirect water flow and prevent runoff from washing away soil. This is especially important in areas prone to heavy rainfall or where the natural slope of the land needs to be modified.
Aesthetics and Landscaping: In addition to their functional benefits, retaining walls can enhance the aesthetics of outdoor spaces. They can be constructed using various materials, such as concrete blocks and timber, to complement the surrounding landscape and create visually appealing features.
Structural Support: Retaining walls also provide structural support for buildings, roadways, and other infrastructure. They can be used to create level building pads on uneven terrain or to reinforce slopes near roads and highways.
