Why Would You Need a Retaining Wall?

They are also commonly used for aesthetic reasons rather than structural because of how they can really accent your property.

7 Reason to Build a Retaining Wall
  1. Erosion Control:
    • Retaining walls are highly effective at preventing soil erosion. By holding dirt in place, they protect landscapes from the damaging effects of water, especially in sloped areas.
  2. Flood Management: 
    • Retaining walls can help manage the water flow on your property. A properly built wall will always have a drainage solution within the wall design.
  3. Creates Usable Space: 
    • Retaining walls can transform steep, unusable slopes into flat, functional spaces. The new space can be used for gardens, patios, or play areas, effectively increasing your usable outdoor space.
  4. Aesthetic Appeal: 
    • Beyond their practical functions, retaining walls can be designed to enhance the visual appeal of your property. There are a variety of materials available and when done right they will complement your property.
  5. Increases Property Value: 
    • The addition of a well-constructed retaining wall can increase the value of your property by giving you more usable space.
  6. Structural Support: 
    • Retaining walls provide essential support to large masses of soil, preventing the soil from collapsing into lower areas. This is important in cases where there are height differences. 
  7. Defines Spaces: 
    • Retaining walls can be used to define and separate different areas of your property, creating and organizing your outdoor elements. They can also distinguish different areas and/or elements of your property.  

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of a retaining wall?

A: The primary purpose of a retaining wall is to hold back soil and prevent erosion, especially in sloped areas. They can also manage water runoff, create usable flat areas on hilly terrain, enhance aesthetic appeal, and increase property value.

Q: What materials can be used to build a retaining wall?

A: Retaining walls can be constructed from a variety of materials, including concrete blocks, poured concrete, treated timbers, rocks or boulders, bricks, and natural stones. The choice of material often depends on the desired aesthetic, the wall's required height, and budget considerations.

Q: How long do retaining walls last?

A: The lifespan of a retaining wall depends on the materials used, the construction quality, and the environmental conditions. Concrete and stone walls can last for several decades, often 50 years or more, while timber walls typically last between 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance.

Q: Do I need a permit to build a retaining wall?

A: In many cases, yes. The need for a permit often depends on the wall's height and location, as well as local building codes and regulations. It's essential to check with your local building department before starting construction. Any wall over 4 ft will require an engineer.

Q: Can I build a retaining wall myself?

A: For small, low retaining walls (usually up to 3 feet high), DIY construction can be a feasible project with proper planning and tools if you have the right knowledge. For taller walls & walls that hold back soil, professional design and construction are best to ensure the stability and longevity of the wall.

Q: How do I know if my retaining wall is failing?

A: Signs that a retaining wall may need to be replaced include leaning or bulging, cracks and deterioration of the wall material. Contact a professional if you notice any of these issues.

Q: How can I make my retaining wall look its best?

A: Choose the right material for your property. You want everything to coincide. You can add built-in planters, landscape lighting is one of the biggest enhancements, and planting ground cover or bushes also makes a huge impact.

Q: Do I need to have drainage behind my retaining wall?

A: Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water pressure from building up behind the wall. If this isn’t done the wall will fail. If someone isn’t installing a drainage system behind the wall DO NOT HIRE THEM!
