Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common materials for retaining walls?
Common materials include concrete, brick, and stone. The strength of brick and stone walls depends on the quality of the mortar and can be enhanced with features like stainless steel anchors.
What is the expected life of a retaining wall?
A retaining wall’s lifespan ranges from 25 to over 100 years, influenced by materials, design, installation, and upkeep.
What factors affect the stability and lifespan of a retaining wall?
Proper engineering, drainage, and installation are essential for stability. If not properly managed, factors such as hydrostatic pressure from water build-up, soil erosion at the base, and the pressure from retained soil can lead to failure.
Do retaining walls increase my property's value?
Yes, retaining walls enhance landscape usability, prevent erosion, and significantly increase property value.
How do I determine the right height for my retaining wall?
The appropriate height depends on the amount of soil you need to retain and your preferred finished level. Planning permission is required for walls taller than 1 meter (near a road) or 2 meters (in other locations).
