DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS WHEN INSTALLING RETAINING WALLS

A retaining wall is a great way to elevate your space, adding function and visual interest to your property. However, when installed improperly, a retaining wall may become an eyesore and pose safety risks if you’re not careful.

When installing retaining walls, you must consider the following factors:

Type of product being installed: You’ll want to choose a retaining wall block that will ensure structural integrity, stability, and durability, but also be visually appealing and provide cohesion to your surroundings.

How the wall will be used: Retaining wall blocks can serve several purposes, from building garden walls to creating large, elevated patios. Consider the purpose of your wall when selecting your products.

Location of the wall: Are you planning to construct a sizable retaining wall to support a staircase leading to your front door, or perhaps a raised patio to enjoy the scenic views of your backyard? Your wall's location should reflect its intended use and purpose.

Proper Drainage:Proper drainage is crucial for a retaining wall to prevent water buildup behind it, which can lead to settling issues. Install a drainage pipe at the base of your trench to collect rainwater and redirect it to nearby grass beds, minimizing the risk of yard flooding.

Height of the wall: Make sure the wall is sized correctly for its intended purpose. Retaining walls that exceed 3 feet in height must be engineered by a civil engineer, due to the increased pressure and forces exerted by the retained materials. Retaining walls that are not engineered or installed properly run the risk of falling over or becoming unstable.

If you're unsure about the size of your wall or have questions, it's wise to consult with a professional contractor like a Unilock Authorized Contractor. They have the expertise needed to ensure your retaining wall is built correctly.

RETAINING WALL FAQS

What’s the difference between a retaining wall and a landscape wall?

A retaining wall is a structure specifically designed to hold back or retain soul, rock, or other materials to create a difference in ground elevation. They are often used in landscaping, civil engineering projects, and construction to create terraced slopes, prevent soil erosion on hillsides, or create level areas on uneven terrain. Landscape walls are generally employed for decorative or functional purposes within landscaping projects. Unlike retaining walls, landscape walls are not primarily intended for supporting large soil masses or preventing erosion. Instead, they serve as aesthetic elements, defining garden borders, creating visual interest, or offering seating options.

Do retaining walls over 3’ need to be engineered?

We strongly advise using a licensed civil engineer for retaining walls taller than three feet. It's important to remember that different towns may have height restrictions, some of which may be as low as 2 feet. Make sure your retaining wall project complies with local building codes before starting.

How do I know which retaining wall blocks are available in my region?

Our retaining wall products and colors do vary by region. Be sure when you’re browsing our products that you have selected your residing region at the top of the page so you can view the available products in your region.

Can my Unilock Authorized Contractor install lighting on my wall?

Absolutely! Speak with your Unilock Authorized Contractor about incorporating landscape lighting into the initial design plans. Consider where you want to place the lighting, whether it's to brighten a pathway, illuminate dark areas of your yard, or create charming silhouettes to enhance the atmosphere of your outdoor space
