Retaining walls
Retaining walls serve a variety of purposes. A retaining
wall can help with a seemingly hopeless erosion problem.
They can also serve as a raised garden for your specialty
plants. No matter what your needs are, Rock-n-Gardens
can construct walls that will compliment your home and
garden.
Retaining walls can be made from several different types of
stone, and can be constructed using many different
methods. Limestone is the most common stone for
retaining walls in Austin, however any type of stone will
work. Stone comes in different shapes and sizes, and can
be mortared or dry stacked. This is one very important
reason to have a company who understands your unique
needs.
Another extremely important reason to have a company
that understands the needs of your garden and home is
that walls exceeding a certain height need to have a
concrete footing underneath. If the wall is retaining a large
amount of earth, it may be necessary to lean the wall
against the dirt (instead of strait up and down), so the wall
doesn't fall over time. Larger walls also require a drainage
system and weep holes to relieve hydraulic pressure.
Otherwise structural cracking or complete collapse could
occur.
