Retaining Walls

At Stern Lawn and Landscape, we understand that building a block retaining wall requires careful planning and execution. We follow a detailed process to ensure that the wall is structurally sound, aesthetically pleasing, and built to last.

 

First, we start by excavating the area and preparing the ground for the wall. This includes ensuring that the foundation is level and properly compacted to support the weight of the wall. We also make sure that the wall is designed to withstand the pressure of the soil behind it and any water runoff that may occur.

Next, we carefully select the blocks for the wall, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and will work well with the design of the wall. We use specialized tools and equipment to ensure that the blocks are placed correctly and that the wall is level and straight.

 

As we build the wall, we take care to add drainage materials like gravel and perforated pipe to ensure that water can drain away from the wall and prevent damage from water buildup. We also add reinforcement materials like geogrid to provide additional support and prevent the wall from shifting over time.

Finally, we take care to finish the wall with a final layer of blocks that are carefully placed and secured in place. We also add any necessary finishing touches like capstones or decorative elements to ensure that the wall is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

 

Overall, our approach to building block retaining walls is focused on quality, precision, and attention to detail. We believe that this approach sets us apart from our competition and ensures that our customers receive the best possible results.
