Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls are a very important, very common feature in the Southeast with our mountain topography. In addition to improving the safety of a property, retaining walls function to provide a boost to the aesthetic features of your home. The team at Waypoint Construction Group are experts in designing and building retaining walls with integrity and lasting visual appeal.


Beauty and Functionality


 

Retaining walls do more than just hold up slopes; they create functional space in an otherwise unusable part of your property and make it more functional. A retaining wall can be built as a sturdy flower box for your garden, and instead of settling for a basic wall, you can make it hollow to make room for soil and plants.

 

Segmental retaining wall blocks are concrete blocks that interlock with each other. This type doesn’t need concrete footing, mortar, or cement to hold it in place. Accordingly, we highly recommend this type of material for building retaining walls for a variety of reasons.

 

When built correctly, segmental retaining wall blocks are strong enough to retain the force and pressure of backfill soil.

It is easy to get creative because they come in a variety of colors, textures, and sizes to match your landscape design or the theme of your property.

These can be easily incorporated in designs that call for horizontal or vertical curves, corners, or steps.

 

Because it promotes mortar-less structures, retaining walls are built fast and easy. No waiting for cement to dry.

They are more cost-effective materials to use because they can be built without the help of any additional materials or equipment. Also, they require very minimal maintenance.

Segmental retaining wall block systems allow backfill soil to drain itself of water through the face joints. A wall made of these blocks is more flexible, making it more resistant to cracks.
