Different Types of Retaining Walls
At Kelstone Contracting, we specialize in designing and building the following:
Block retaining walls are essential hardscape features used in landscaping and construction to tackle issues related to soil erosion and land management. They serve a crucial function in supporting the earth and maintaining the varying levels of soil in a particular area. This capability makes them an integral solution for hilly and uneven terrains, where they mitigate the risk of landslides and maintain landscape integrity.
These walls are typically constructed from concrete blocks, known for their durability and resistance against environmental impacts. With these materials, block retaining walls offer long-term stability and strength, preserving the aesthetics of a space without compromising functionality.
Moreover, the versatility of block retaining walls extends to their aesthetic appeal. They come in various colors, shapes, and textures, allowing for customization that can match any architectural style or landscape design. This versatility also enhances the usability of the terrain, creating opportunities for terraced gardening, built-in seating, or creating level areas for other uses like patios or play spaces.
Therefore, the use of block retaining walls is a practical solution for handling soil management issues, enhancing safety, maximizing land utilization, and contributing to the overall visual appeal of a property.
Rock or stone retaining walls are an attractive and functional feature in many landscaping designs. Their primary purpose is to counteract the force of gravity and hold back soil on sloped or uneven terrain, preventing soil erosion and landslides. This is particularly valuable in areas prone to heavy rain or seismic activity, where soil movement can lead to significant property damage.
In addition to their practical utility, rock or stone retaining walls add a natural, rustic appeal to a property. Their rugged, organic look can blend seamlessly into a landscape, fostering a sense of harmony between the built and natural environments. Unlike their concrete or block counterparts, stone walls often don’t require extensive work to incorporate into a design, given their naturalistic aesthetic.
Furthermore, rock or stone walls offer excellent durability and longevity. With proper construction and maintenance, these structures can withstand weathering effects and provide structural integrity for many years, if not decades.
When constructed correctly, rock or stone retaining walls can also improve drainage, reducing water buildup and subsequent soil saturation.
Overall, these walls offer a robust, eco-friendly solution for managing soil erosion and enhancing landscape aesthetics. Their timeless appeal, coupled with functionality, can significantly contribute to the value and enjoyment of a property.
