Erosion Control
Retaining walls help prevent soil erosion, protecting your property from the damaging effects of water runoff and weathering.
Optimised Space
By creating level areas on sloped terrain, retaining walls maximise usable space for landscaping, gardening, or outdoor living.
Structural Stability
Retaining walls provide essential support and stability, preventing soil movement and erosion that could compromise the integrity of your property.
Type One
Cantilevered Walls
Typically made from timber or steel, these walls have a thinner stem and use a lever arm and footing to convert horizontal pressure from the soil into vertical pressure on the ground. They are efficient for taller walls and provide strong support in various materials depending on the requirements.
Type Two
Gravity Walls
These rely on their own weight to resist the pressure from the soil behind them. Typically constructed from heavy materials like stone, concrete, or brick, they are best suited for low to moderate height applications.
Type Three
Anchored Walls
Reinforced by cables or other stays anchored in the rock or soil behind the wall. These are useful for high-load applications and when dealing with loose or heavy soil conditions.
Type Four
Gabion Walls
Constructed by stacking wire mesh boxes filled with rocks or other materials. These flexible structures are ideal for areas with erosion issues and where drainage is a concern.
