Retaining Wall Contractor in Birmingham AL

Retaining walls are a way in which we try to limit the changes that our landscapes naturally go through over time, the earth and soil move due to changes in the elements and the effects of gravity, for example, if your home is built on a gradient you could see you garden slide down a hill during heavy rainfall. A retaining wall is a way in which we can combat gravity and secure the soil and earth that makes up the gardens and outdoor spaces that we treasure so much.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the cheapest retaining wall option?


Retaining walls are a common feature in many gardens and landscaped areas. They are used to create level areas on sloping sites or provide support for slopes prone to erosion. There are many different kinds of retaining walls, ranging from simple poured concrete walls to more complex stone walls. 

Poured concrete is one of the cheapest types of retaining wall, with prices starting at $4 per square foot. Interlocking concrete block is slightly more expensive, with prices starting at $6 per square foot. Pressure-treated pine is a popular material for retaining walls, usually priced at around $7 per square foot. Stone is the most expensive option, with prices starting at around $15 per square foot.

One of the most affordable retaining wall options is also a wood wall. Wood walls can be made from various types of wood, including pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and redwood. Wood walls are typically less expensive than other types of retaining walls, such as concrete or stone walls. 


How do you fix a falling retaining wall?



Retaining walls are an essential part of landscaping, but they can also be one of the most frustrating parts. All it takes is a little bit of rain or an earthquake, and your once sturdy wall can come tumbling down. But why do retaining walls fail? 

Some of the most common reasons for retaining walls falling are poor drainage and using the wrong materials. Water sitting against the wall can eventually seep through the cracks and undermine the wall's foundation. This can cause the wall to lean or even collapse. Furthermore, bricks, stones, or concrete blocks that are too small or too light can be easily toppled by wind or water. 

You can fix a falling retaining wall by following the following tips:

1. Remove the loose soil: Use a shovel to remove any loose soil from around the base of the wall. Be sure to remove all the soil that is not firmly attached to the wall.

2. Add drainage: Install a perforated pipe around the base of the wall to help drain water away from the wall. Please make sure the pipe is covered with gravel, so it does not become clogged.

3. Install anchors: Install anchors into the ground at regular intervals around the base of the wall. The anchors should be made of metal or plastic and driven into the ground with a hammer.

4. Backfill: Fill in the area around the base of the wall with gravel or sand. This will help to support the wall and prevent further movement.

Finally, remember that retaining walls are not indestructible. They need to be inspected regularly and repaired if necessary. Cracks, bulges, or leaning should all be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. With a little bit of care, your retaining wall will last for years to come.
