Why build a concrete retaining wall?

When deciding upon building materials, the most important factor to consider is the purpose of your retaining wall. A functional retaining wall serves a structural purpose such as creating levels on a sloping block of land or providing support to a driveway or path. They are an excellent method of maximizing the available space in your yard. Decorative retaining walls act as ornamental elements including seats, fences and water features, adding style and character to the garden.

Reliable, long-lasting and value for money, concrete is the most popular material used for building functional retaining walls. Resistant to rot and destruction by termites, concrete retaining walls provide a stable and durable option for any yard. A concrete retaining wall is also capable of withstanding the constant exposure to moisture and drying that occurs through contact with soil. Concrete offers a range of solutions to suit both the decorative and structural requirements particular to each project.
