We are here to support your soil laterally so that it can be retained at different level on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. Retaining walls adds pleasing look to your landscape. With custom design and well organized you can utilize more in your outdoor space. Book a consultation to know more about retaining wall and get best out of your open space.
Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the earth from moving downhill with erosion. The most basic function of a retaining wall is to battle gravity and the lateral force of the slope must be offset in the retaining wall's design.
We are experts in developing block retaining wall Edmonton. Here are a few examples of designed and constructed aesthetically pleasing retaining walls that were developed by our retaining wall contractor Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, and Fort Saskatchewan.

Retaining walls are so popular in both residential and commercial landscaping several reasons in fact. Retaining walls give chance to insert beautiful stonework and hardscaping into the the garden.
Gravity retaining wall is the most basic type of retaining wall. Gravity walls depend on their mass to resist pressure from behind and may have a 'batter' setback to improve stability by leaning back toward the retained soil. For short landscaping walls, they are often made from mortarless stone or segmental concrete units (masonry units).
Cantilevered retaining walls are made from an internal stem of steel-reinforced, cast-in-place concrete or mortared masonry. These walls cantilever loads to a large, structural footing, converting horizontal pressures from behind the wall to vertical pressures on the ground below.
It is also known as the slurry wall. Diaphragm walls are a type of retaining walls that are very stiff and generally watertight. Diaphragm walls are expensive walls, but they save time and space, and hence are used in urban constructions.
Sheet pile retaining walls are usually used in soft soil and tight spaces. Sheet pile walls are driven into the ground and are composed of a variety of material including steel, vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass or wood planks.
Bored pile retaining walls are built by assembling a sequence of bored piles, followed by excavating away the excess soil. Depending on the project, the bored pile retaining wall may include a series of earth anchors, reinforcing beams, soil improvement operations and shotcrete reinforcement layer.
An anchored retaining wall can be constructed in any of the aforementioned styles but also includes additional strength using cables or other stays anchored in the rock or soil behind it. Usually driven into the material with boring, anchors are then expanded at the end of the cable, either by mechanical means or often by injecting pressurized concrete, which expands to form a bulb in the soil.
