You may want to consider getting a retaining wall installed if:

  • Slope stabilization is needed. Retaining walls provide crucial stability to your property and effectively prevent slope failures.
  • Erosion control: in areas with high levels of soil erosion due to heavy rainfall, surface runoff, or other environmental factors. A retaining wall can control erosion and prevent the loss of soil
  • Property expansion: retaining walls can create additional space for the construction of structures, driveways, patios or other amenities. With retaining walls coming in a variety of large retaining wall blocks and smaller ones, they can accommodate the needs of each client. A structural retaining wall can also create additional space, as its primary function is to hold back soil or other materials.
  • Property Feature: Retaining walls can also be used to enhance properties. Adding a landscape retaining wall not only adds to the beauty of your property but can provide a unique focal point to a dull area. Garden walls are very common and can offer opportunity to expand a green space. Another feature available when using retaining walls, is incorporating retaining wall stairs. They provide both stability and an attractive way to navigate sloped terrain while preventing soil erosion.

We also specialize in the construction of all types of retaining walls, from Ankora, Allan Block, Gabion, MSE and Shot Crete walls.

GDM Construction's Process

Assess Retaining Wall

Assess

Our process for building a retaining wall starts with an on-site consultation where we thoroughly assess the location and its surroundings to ensure that all requirements are met. During this assessment, we carefully examine the soil conditions, determine the purpose of the wall, evaluate the proposed wall height, assess drainage considerations, and consider the overall design with a Geotechnical Engineer. Based on this assessment, we create a comprehensive design plan that considers all the key factors we have evaluated, as well as the surrounding landscape.

Retaining Wall Construction Preparation

Prepare

After finalizing the plan and any necessary permits are in place, our dedicated team proceeds to the construction site, ready to perform any necessary demolition or removal of objects that might impede the retaining wall. Site preparation assumes a critical role as it lays the groundwork for the overall success of the project. We meticulously mark the boundaries and establish the wall’s alignment and position through careful layout. Our next focus is on preparing the foundation, all while keeping drainage considerations at the forefront of our actions. Once the land is properly leveled and all components are in position, we proceed to install the blocks, initiating the construction of the retaining wall.

Retaining Wall Construction Execute

Execute

The culmination of our retaining wall construction process entails the actual building and completion of the wall. Following the predetermined design and layout, we begins placing the blocks precisely according to the plan. Throughout the installation, we diligently check and adjust the level of each block, ensuring a uniformly straight and well-aligned wall. If necessary, based on the direction of a Geotechnical Engineer we can incorporate reinforcements to bolster the wall’s strength and stability, further ensuring its durability. Once all the blocks are in place, we attend to any final details, giving the wall a polished appearance, and will take care of cleaning up the construction site, leaving it tidy and organized.
