Why Build a Concrete Retaining Wall?
Why Build a Concrete Retaining Wall?
Do you have sloping land that cannot be used? Are you struggling with flood defences that are not durable? Is your current retaining wall not appealing to the eye?
If you said yes to one (or more) of the above, you may be in need of a new concrete retaining wall system.
The Benefits of a Retaining Wall System
Waste space
You can’t use land that slopes. A retaining wall such as our Stepoc solution frees up sloping land into usable space.
Erosion, mudslide and flood control
One of the most common functions of a concrete retaining wall is to stop erosion on hillsides which is either undesirable or impractical as whenever you disturb the natural landscape, you open yourself up to this and potential flooding issues. A concrete retaining wall acts as the buffer needed against this shifting soil and water, minimising damage and potential insurance nightmares.
Durability and Sustainability
Concrete retaining walls that use sustainable products are durable and long-lasting, while being earth-friendly. They can provide a reduced impact on the environment without compromising on function, durability or beauty.
Safety
If the area is in a moist or flood-prone environment, a concrete retaining wall can be the essential and critical solution for safety purposes, by ensuring dangerous situations do not arise from floods, mudslides or erosion.
Low Maintenance
One of the great things about concrete retaining walls is their low maintenance. The wall can be left alone after it has been built. As concrete retaining walls are able to withstand harsh weather condition, the long-term costs you face are vastly reduced as there is no need to repair or replace these walls
Aesthetics
While most people feel concrete retaining walls are purely functional, they can also add a new aesthetic to a property. For instance, they can add multiple tiers and colour to a landscape giving more vibrancy, personality and versatility.
Adds to Property Value
Concrete retaining walls have proven to be an excellent addition to any landscape, resulting in the increase in the value of a property or landscape.
