Retaining Walls
Retaining Wall Design & Installation
If you are looking to enhance your property’s stability with a natural aesthetic, a living retaining wall is an ideal solution. This specialized structure is built by installing a series of galvanized welded wire forms, commonly known as soil baskets. To ensure long-term structural integrity, each basket is lined with a structural face wrap and a geo-synthetic grid (Geogrid) according to precise engineering drawings. The baskets are then backfilled and thoroughly compacted with clean fill dirt, while the face of the wall is finished with native plantings to create a durable, “green” vertical landscape.
Advantages of Retaining Walls
- Cost-Effective Solution: By utilizing lighter materials that are easier to transport and faster to install, living retaining walls offer a more budget-friendly alternative to traditional masonry without sacrificing durability.
- Superior Earth Stabilization: Our soil basket design is engineered to stabilize even the most challenging slopes. Using galvanized steel baskets and Geogrid reinforcement, these structures are built to outlast conventional products. The system requires clean, debris-free fill dirt compacted to strict engineering standards, while the vegetated face further binds the slope together for long-term strength.
- Enhanced Natural Drainage: Unlike solid concrete barriers that cause water runoff and potential flooding, living walls absorb rainwater and allow it to filter through gradually, significantly improving the drainage profile of your property.
- Eco-Friendly and Health-Conscious: Choosing soil baskets significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional concrete manufacturing and transport. By integrating native plants and perennial wildflowers into the wall’s face, you enhance the local biome and create a healthier environment for your family and neighbors.
- Natural Aesthetic Appeal: Living walls transform a structural necessity into a lush vertical garden. You can customize your landscape with vibrant colors, varied textures, and fragrant blooms, creating a beautiful focal point that blends seamlessly with the North Georgia scenery.
