Custom Block Walls for Functional and Aesthetic Landscaping
Block retaining walls are a popular choice for landscape and structural projects due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Proper installation involves careful planning, site preparation, and precise placement of blocks to ensure stability and longevity. These walls can be used to prevent erosion, create level areas, or enhance the visual appeal of outdoor spaces.
Various block types include concrete, segmental, and stone blocks, each suited for different applications and aesthetic preferences.
Factors such as wall height, soil type, drainage, and load-bearing capacity influence the design and installation process.
Preparation involves excavation, base installation, and careful stacking of blocks, often with the addition of geogrid reinforcement for taller walls.
Regular inspection for shifting or cracking, proper drainage, and cleaning help maintain the integrity of the wall.
