Modular Block, Rock and Timber Retaining Walls

As the title suggests, there are several types of retaining walls. Choosing the most appropriate one is obviously not an easy task, but with the correct information it shouldn’t be very difficult.

For residential retaining wall services you can easily contact a contractor and explain what you need. Here is a list of the things that you should think about when looking for a residential retaining wall:

• The very first thing you have to do is get the approval of your neighbors for this. I know it probably sounds a bit stupid, but there are some laws tat govern this aspect, so don’t forget about it.
• You have to worry about the size and looks of the residential retaining wall. It needs to integrate well with the surrounding area.
• You also need to make sure that no one else has access to the soil behind the wall, otherwise it could cause some problems.

Building a retaining wall in a residential area (condo complex or something similar) is the kind of job that you can’t simply start one weekend. This is why I recommend reviewing the above list and making sure that you understand all the issues at hand.
