Retaining Walls
Engineered Structural Retaining Walls for Sloping Gardens
Retaining walls are vital engineering structures designed to hold back soil slopes, create usable terraced garden levels, and prevent earth erosion across Southampton, Portsmouth, Fareham, and Romsey. Whether constructed using reinforced concrete blocks, heavy timber sleepers, or dry stone walling, retaining walls manage immense earth weight.
We calculate soil loads, incorporate essential land drainage weep holes, and build robust retaining walls that transform steep, unusable garden slopes into flat, beautiful multi-tier outdoor living spaces.
Retaining Walls FAQs
Expert Answers to Retaining Wall Questions
Find answers regarding soil pressure calculations, drainage backfill, wall height limits, and materials.
Why is land drainage important behind retaining walls?
Behind-wall drainage and weep holes prevent hydrostatic water pressure from building up and pushing the wall over.
What materials are used to build retaining walls?
What materials are used to build retaining walls?
Do retaining walls require building regulations approval?
Retaining walls over 1 meter high or close to property boundaries may require structural engineering calculations and approval.
How do you prevent water from staining retaining wall faces?
We install geotextile filter fabric and clean gravel backfill behind walls to filter silt and direct water to drainage pipes.
Can retaining walls be used to create terraced garden beds?
Yes, multiple lower retaining walls create stunning terraced garden flower beds on steep garden slopes.
