CONCRETE BLOCK RETAINING WALL SACRAMENTO

Retaining Wall concrete block and Pavers for Your Landscape in Sacramento

When your lawn has a hill or a slope, it can be hard to know what to do with your landscape. Erosion is a major landscaping problem in hilly areas such as Sacramento, CA, and you may plant a tree only to find its roots exposed after several years, once the dirt has washed downhill through many rains.

One popular solution that many homeowners in the Sacramento, CA area choose is concrete block retaining walls combined with a paver stone walkway which creates terraces of flat ground that stair step down your property. Paver stones and concrete block from The Paver Company are the perfect material for this. Our paver stones are strong and sturdy, and they come in a variety of colors and textures, so you are certain to find one to fit your design needs exactly.

Retaining Wall Durability and Stability

If you have driven around the Sacramento area much, you may have noticed older homes with retaining walls that have not aged well. They may have buckled in the middle with the weight of the ground pushing against them, or they may have partially fallen down from the top.

This is easily avoidable with simple installation techniques, and you can be sure that the installation experts at The Paver Company will provide you with a retaining wall that will last for many years. Simply placing re-bar vertically through the horizontal layers of retaining wall pavers will prevent your wall from buckling or falling, as the paving stones will not be able to slip against each other.

Retaining Wall FAQs

When does a yard need a retaining wall?

A retaining wall may be useful when a property has slopes, elevation changes, erosion, or areas where soil needs to be held in place. Retaining walls can also create flatter, more usable terraces in a sloped yard while adding structure to the landscape.

Can a retaining wall help with erosion?

Yes. A properly designed retaining-wall system can help stabilize soil and reduce erosion on sloped areas. Drainage, wall height, soil conditions, and the amount of earth being retained are important considerations in the design.

Can The Paver Company repair an existing retaining wall?

Yes. The Paver Company invites homeowners with retaining walls that are beginning to buckle or fail to request an evaluation for repair or rebuilding. Whether repair is practical depends on the wall's condition and the reason it is failing.

Why do retaining walls start leaning or bulging?

Retaining walls can move because of soil pressure, inadequate drainage, poor base preparation, insufficient reinforcement, or changing site conditions. A wall that is noticeably leaning, bulging, separating, or settling should be evaluated before the damage becomes more extensive.

Can a retaining wall be combined with steps and a paver walkway?

Yes. Retaining walls, terraces, steps, and paver walkways can be designed together to make a sloped property easier to navigate and create more usable outdoor space.
