Retaining Walls:
The best way to prevent erosion and stabilize a hillside is with a retaining wall. If you’re concerned about an area that looks ripe for a mud slide, then you should call an engineering firm like Linscott and see if it would be a good idea to install a retaining wall. You have many options when it comes to retaining walls these days. They needn’t be something that clashes with the environment and looks out of place and purely utilitarian. Your first option is a wood retaining wall built in the “soldier pile” method, or “legging method. This is the least expensive and most cost effective solution to your erosion problems. And a wooden retaining wall can be painted in earthy tones to match the surroundings. Your next option is a stone wall. With a wide selection of stones, boulders and rocks, you have plenty of ways to achieve a more natural look that blends well with the earth that it’s supporting. Stone walls are undoubtedly the most natural way to go when choosing a retaining wall. For a material that can be made to look like stone, but is less expensive you should choose concrete. The first way to go with concrete would be a plain grey, un-textured wall. Next you could choose to have a concrete wall with added or dusted on color, to match the environment. The most natural looking choice is decorative, textured concrete. Decorative concrete retaining walls are becoming an increasingly popular trend. The concrete can be made to look like rock and match almost perfectly with the surroundings. Driving along the freeway or through valley and canyon roads, you may have noticed a natural looking, decorative concrete retaining wall. If you need a new retaining wall for your home, place of business or public project give us a call or fill out or free estimate form here.
