Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls Brainerd, MN Retaining walls have critical functions in your property. One of their primary functions is to improve safety in the outdoor area. If your property has slopes, these structures are necessary to prevent soil erosion. The walls can protect your landscaping and other outdoor features from possible damages caused by eroding soil. You can also use these features to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your landscape. They can be used for tiered gardens or as flower bed containers. You can also create a new outdoor living space by installing a carefully designed retaining wall.

However, the installation of new retaining walls in your property is not a DIY job. You have to give this task to professional people like us at Express Outdoor Services, LLC.

Retaining Wall Blocks

The durability and longevity of your retaining walls largely depend on the quality of the retaining wall blocks. Walls made from substandard blocks will not last long and may even collapse due to the lateral pressure of the soil. You can avoid these problems by choosing premium wall blocks from reputable manufacturers. Some of the brands that we highly recommend include Belgard and Allan Block.

Concrete Blocks

You can use different types of materials for your retaining walls. You may opt for natural stones, wood, or concrete blocks. The latter is our highly recommended material because of their affordability, availability, and durability. Premium wall blocks can retain large amount of soil, so they are suited for areas with steep slopes. Moreover, wall block manufacturers are now offering revolutionary products that are suited for taller retaining wall structures. You are assured that the walls will function effectively and protect your property from possible soil erosion.

Building a Retaining Wall

Experienced contractors will always follow systematic procedures when building a retaining wall. In addition, they will use the right methods and techniques to ensure the structural integrity of each wall they create. And here at Express Outdoor Services, LLC, we also use proven methods to give clients durable and long-lasting retaining walls. We also ensure the aesthetic appeal of each wall that we create.

Retaining Wall Design

Your contractor should be able to create a retaining wall design that will suit your needs and requirements. Aside from using common wall designs such as curve, straight, and circular, you can also ask your builder to create custom designs. This can be done by choosing the right wall block color, texture, size, and theme. The appeal of your outdoor space will dramatically improve if you have highly personalized retaining walls.
