You should install a retaining wall:
When you need to control downhill erosion.
If dirt and debris are blocking parts of your property, adding a wall can minimize the erosion by decreasing the angle of the slope and holding back soil.
When soil lines are above your home.
Talk to any landscaping contractor and he’ll tell you that if there are soil fault lines above your home, a wall of some kind is an absolute necessity. One bad rainstorm storm or even a minor shift in the ground can erode the land and send all that extra soil right into your property.
When your foundation is on a hill.
The dirt around the foundation of your home aids in supporting it. If it begins to erode, the foundation becomes less stable and can lead to cracks and damage. Placing a retaining wall in the right spot helps prevent this.

RETAINING WALL BUILDERS, DECORATIVE POURED CONCRETE
One of the main reasons to hire our professional retaining wall builders is to prevent damage from pooling water.
Concrete retaining walls above a certain height require pre-planned drainage solutions. Without it, water builds up, the soil becomes overly saturated, frost heaving kicks in, and the concrete begins to crack. |
Our retaining wall installers use special landscape fabrics, measured aggregate backfill, and specific perforated pipes to mitigate these problems. With adequate drainage in place, your investment will last years longer. Get a free estimate at (518) 500-3246.
We have experienced landscapers on staff who handle projects of all sizes for both residential and commercial retaining walls. For homeowners, interlocking blocks are particularly popular for landscaping. Decorative poured concrete, stone, or bricks are used to terrace the land and create an aesthetically pleasing look. There's usually a patio nearby too.
During the install, interlocking blocks are laid together using a lip on one side to connect them. As our team fills in the soil behind the blocks, the pressure behind the wall increases, pushing the blocks closer together and increasing its stability.
Higher degrees of slope on a hill make the project more complex and require a greater degree of skill. Contact our experts for professional installation for the wall and the concrete steps to climb the hill.
