Retaining walls do not only restrain the soil but also can be used for beautifying the exterior of your home. When you are considering landscaping improvements, then you should strongly think of building retaining walls.
Before constructing the wall, you should be aware that the soil is heavy, especially during the rainy season. There are main points mentioned which you should know while considering building a wall:
- Strong foundation
You should make a strong foundation for the retaining walls. If your wall will be no longer than four feet, a three-inch deep excavation full of crushed rocks is enough. For proper guidance, you can take the help of renowned professionals like Pro Landscaping Canberra who are experienced and certified.
- Allow for drainage
The biggest issue for retaining walls is groundwater. Because of it, proper drainage really matters. Remember that, if the soil around your yard is clay soil, then due to the groundwater, the clay soil will swell and put excess pressure on the wall. So, make provisions for good drainage to avoid any problem in the future.
- Inform the authorities
Your retaining walls can affect water flow which also can affect your neighbors and the surrounding environment. Therefore, before you commence with the project, you should contact the authorities and submit your future plans regarding the construction of walls. Canberra Landscaping professionals can assist you in building block or retaining walls while following all rules and regulations.
After considering all the above points, you can contact Pro Landscaping Canberra experts who are fully licensed and insured and also can provide you great work of landscaping.
