Engineered Block Retaining Walls
Outside Dreams is a certified Allan Block Contractor. Allan Block offers a Contractor Certification Program to give contractors the proper training and tools to build top-quality retaining walls. Click here to view the benefits of using engineered stone products for landscape construction projects. We primarily use Allen Blocks to build gravity retaining walls. These walls depend on their weight and setback to hold the soil and are typically shorter in height. Allan Block retaining walls are ideal for this type of wall because as they are stacked together, they lock into place to form a setback.
Other Types Of Retaining Walls Wood:
While wood is often an inexpensive and straightforward choice for retaining walls, its short lifespan makes it a relatively poor choice. As the wood decomposes, so does the retaining wall’s integrity to hold soil behind it. Stone, Rocks, Boulders: Walls made from stone create beautiful retaining walls, but installing these materials can be expensive and labor-intensive. Over time, the maintenance of stone walls can be difficult because they may erode or become home to rodents and weeds. Concrete and Mortared Walls Landscape designers install these walls with various veneers, bricks, and flagstones. However, these structures are rigid and do not move and flex with climate changes or soil movement, making repairs or replacement expensive.
