Retaining Wall FAQs
What is a retaining wall?
Retaining walls are constructed walls created to hold soil in place on a slope where it otherwise would not remain on its own.
Why do I need a retaining wall in my landscaping project?
A retaining wall provides a flat space that holds the soil in place for your landscaping. This prevents soil erosion and allows you to take advantage of additional flat and more functional space on your property.
What materials can be used to build a retaining wall?
Most commonly, concrete sleepers and timber sleepers are used to construct retaining walls. You can also construct retaining walls from sandstone blocks, gabion rocks, besser bricks or concrete blocks.
What designs do the concrete sleepers come in?
You can choose from several different designs when selecting your concrete sleeper retaining wall. Options include the following:
- Plain concrete
- Wood grain look
- Sandstone block look
- Stackstone look
How long does a retaining wall last?
A concrete sleeper retaining wall can last anywhere from 40 to 100 years or more. A timber sleeper retaining wall can last up to 40 years.
Proper installation procedure, materials used, height of the wall, drainage, soil type, plant growth, climatic conditions, extreme weather events and presence of loads placed above the wall all play a role in impacting the functional durability of the retaining wall.
Do retaining walls require maintenance?
Generally just timber retaining walls will require maintenance in the form of cleaning and oiling or applying a timber sealant to ensure it continues to look good and also helps to slow down the degradation process.
Concrete retaining walls made with quality concrete products require minimal to zero maintenance in order to keep their aesthetic appeal. They may require a pressure wash every now and then to remove mould growth if they’re built in a dark damp location.
You will also need to control weed growth around the retaining wall and plant roots can exert pressure on the wall and cause the wall to bulge. Watch for any bulging or other movement, and resolve any settling or grading around the wall.
Can I build a retaining wall myself, or should I hire a professional?
Building a retaining wall is not a simple task. It requires expertise and training plus a lot of heavy duty earthmoving equipment. If you just need something small and simple then perhaps you may wish to build it yourself, but if your project is more complex you should always turn to a professional to get the best results possible and prevent injury to yourself or damage to your property.
What if I want a retaining wall taller than 1m?
