Retaining Walls In New York

After constructing many retaining walls across Long Island, we have become experienced on how to tackle different property elevations and slopes. Property characteristics are taken into consideration. This includes drainage, sloping pitch, soil conditions, and surrounding structures.

The Purpose of Retaining Walls

When constructing a retaining wall, the first consideration is whether the wall needs to be built structurally or if it is just for landscape aesthetics.

For structural walls, we follow all the proper steps and guidelines created by the best engineers, architects and industry standards. Built-in drainage systems, geo grid reinforcements, various types of landscape fabrics and dead men are a few of the systems we follow.

Retaining Wall Materials

Some of the materials we use to build retaining walls are wood R.R. ties, stack-able natural wall stone, concrete block with a possible veneer, poured concrete, and interlocking retaining wall block systems. Due to durability and design, the interlocking retaining wall block systems have become the most popular over the last 10 years.
