Retaining wall: what must know?

The best solution for arranging a personal plot with a difficult landscape is a retaining wall made of concrete. With its help, it is possible to stop the slipping of the soil, as well as reliably strengthen the slopes and steep slopes. It is noteworthy that such a massive design in addition to the basic protective functions carries excellent decorative solutions.

The support walls often serve as the basis for embedding various decorative elements, including terraces, flower beds and garden beds, which on a multi-level site look especially attractive and unusual, enhancing the effect of the difference.

Sometimes artificial structures are mounted on an absolutely flat surface just for the sake of the site gaining individuality and originality. In the urban construction, with the help of monolithic walls, trenches, pits, fences and anti-landslide engineering elements are strengthened.

If we talk about the appearance of the protective structure, then in the case of private construction, you need to build on the personal preferences of the owners of the site and their financial capabilities. Typically, the retaining wall is constructed of concrete, as well as other materials:

• the finished concrete blocks;
• the bricks;
• the natural stones;
• the wooden logs.

All this beauty is quite possible to do with your own hands, it is enough to study the thematic articles in detail and conduct an accurate technological calculation. The stages of construction, their duration and complexity of the processes will directly depend on the selected material and landscape features.

Before you start building a retaining wall on your site, you need to clearly answer the question – what is it for? To strengthen the slope and keep the soil on it from leaching and slipping? For garden decoration, zoning and vertical landscaping?

Professionals are usually invited to build a strong and reliable retaining wall that can protect a house or a site from a landslide from a slope. Such work includes soil research, strengthening the slope with reinforcing mesh or geotextiles, then building a solid concrete foundation on which a retaining wall is being built. In addition,the rainwater removal from the slope is necessarily carried out. Such a protective wall is a complex engineering structure, this is not for amateurs. Safety depends on its strength.

The retaining wall
In most cases, the retaining wall in the garden plays a decorative role. It is low, does not carry a large load. Its upper part is most often densely planted with the perennial flowers and shrubs, whose roots hold the soil well. Such a wall is built on a flat area for artificial relief or on a small gentle slope that is not prone to destruction. You can build it yourself.
