What are the materials that can be used for retaining wall installations?

Just like there are several types of retaining walls for various purposes, there are also various materials we can use to install them. Here are the pros and cons of each material:

  • Wood

Pros: For people who love the earthy and warm appeal of wood, they may choose to build a retaining wall that is not expected to support a high amount of weight. Wooden walls are often installed in gardens and lawns.

Cons: Wooden retaining walls are weaker than other materials and will need replacement as soon as they rot.

  • Brick

Pros: Using brick for your retaining wall can be perfect if they complement the look and style of your exteriors. Due to its classic appeal, it is safe to say that bricks will never be old when it comes to the preference of many people. Also, brick walls are fire-resistant which adds to the protection of your property.

Cons: Brick walls are more difficult to install compared to other materials, as they have to be placed securely to avoid having problems with moisture and leaks.

  • Gabion

Pros: Gabion retaining walls are easier and cheaper to install when compared to the other materials. All you will need is a wire mesh and a supply of stones and rocks and we are good to go. Some people like the industrial appeal of gabion, which has its own charm in a way. This material is great for people that can set aside time for maintenance.

Cons: Over time, the wire mesh will eventually need replacement. Also, more people think that gabion is unappealing, which is why they are often used in areas that do not need to prioritize aesthetics.

  • Stone

Pros: Stone retaining walls are highly attractive, customizable, and durable. They can be painted or organized in a way that will display an appealing pattern. As long as they are properly installed, they can last for several years.

Cons: Using stone as the material for your retaining wall will be difficult to install. Hence, you have to hire an expert crew to work with it. Also, it is not a secret how natural stone can be very expensive. If you do not have enough, you can also use veneers.

  • Concrete

Pros: Considerable the best material that offers the most durability at a reasonable price, concrete retaining walls are popular because they last longer. They are also more customizable than brick and can even mimic brick’s appeal at a lower price point. If you are looking for an eco-friendly material that will get the job done, concrete is the best bang for your buck.

Cons: Designing and installing a concrete retaining wall is no easy matter. In order for you to reap the benefits, you must get a professional contractor to install it for you. Also, they may not bode well as is if you have to build a taller wall.

Unfortunately, the choice of choosing the material may not always be an option. For example, building a 20-meter wall using bricks is not recommended, as they are bound to fail at that height. Because we will always prioritize your safety over aesthetics, there will be times when choosing is out of the question. Of course, if your wall is only a couple of meters high, the choices are endless.

How long does a retaining wall last?

Essentially, the duration in which the wall will last depends highly on the material used and the quality of the installation work. If you hired a professional installer, you could expect your wall to last for many years, especially with proper maintenance.

According to the material used:

Wood: Due to rotting and pest issues, wooden retaining walls are not expected to last as long, especially in humid areas. They can last around 10 to 15 years if they are carefully maintained.

Brick: Around 100 years or more, provided that they are maintained.

Stone: Around 50 to 100 years.

Concrete: Around 50 to 100 years, as long as they are properly maintained. Get high-quality retaining walls from the best crew in the city

What previous customers have to say:

Jessica M.

You can tell they've done this many times before.  They were very on top of things and extremely informative.  I needed a retaining wall in my back yard and they were able to complete it without any issues and on time.  They designed everything and helped me choose the material.  Thanks for your guidance!

Nicole L.

Our company was looking for a new "face lift" as you enter our property.  We decided to go with a  layered retaining wall with flower beds and trees.  Your attention to detail was very appreciated and we are beyond satisfied with the look of our new entryway!

George P.

They have the crew and equipment to get the big jobs done too.  Working with them has been great because they are very aware of deadlines and budgets.  If they can't do something they will always let me know in advance instead of just trying to win the job.
