Sacramento Retaining Wall Contractor Services

Retaining wall installation is often done in backyard areas to conform a yard to have flat surfaces in areas where they were previously slanted. By constructing a retaining wall, we can hold an abnormal amount of soil, and contain it in an area where it normally wouldn’t be possible to do. If you are looking for such landscaping services in Sacramento, Caligreen Landscape Inc can help get one installed.

Types of Retaining Wall Materials

There are many materials available to you when getting retaining wall installation services. Each type comes with its own unique features and benefits. Let’s take a closer look at each of them:

1. Concrete Pavers – These pavers are durable, long-lasting, and low maintenance. They come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your retaining wall. 

2. Brick Pavers – Brick pavers are a popular choice for retaining walls as they offer a classic and timeless look. They are also highly durable and low-maintenance.

3. Stone Pavers – Stone pavers are available in a range of natural colors and textures, providing a unique and rustic look to your retaining wall. They are highly durable and long lasting, making them a great investment for your outdoor space. 

4. Plain Concrete – If you are looking for a modern and simple look, this is the way to go. These walls are typically really strong and last for a very long time. This is our favorite wall to install because it looks so amazing when it’s all done, though it is the most expensive.

5. Wood – This is more of a budget option, but it will last for many years. This could be railroad ties, pressure-treated wood, or even pallets(these won’t last as long, but it’s cheap). 

Why A Retaining Wall

There may be many purposes for retaining walls. To hold back a shifting hill, holding up a garden so that it can be raised above the ground, or purely for home design and landscaping purposes.

Retaining walls usually are serving the purpose of protection, but often people like to go with them because of their appearance in creating an appealing yard design. Get creative with your wall! Other than their safety usage, they are commonly installed to create garden areas. Retaining walls also add a modern style to your property and can be a great addition to a yard.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Retaining Wall Pavers

Before making a decision on the type of pavers to use for your retaining wall, there are several factors that you should consider:

1. Durability – Retaining walls are subjected to a lot of pressure and wear, so it’s important to choose pavers that are strong and durable.

2. Size and Shape – The size and shape of the pavers will determine the design and layout of your retaining wall.

3. Color and Texture – The color and texture of the pavers will affect the overall look of your retaining wall, so it’s important to choose a style that complements your outdoor space.

4. Installation – The installation process can vary depending on the type of pavers you choose. Some pavers may require more time and effort to install than others.
