Germantown, MD Retaining Wall

A retaining wall in Germantown, MD, helps hold back soil and stabilize the ground. This is one of the best ways to control erosion on property. It also adds an aesthetic design element to a yard, complementing the overall landscaping.

Erosion means the loss of topsoil and results in bare areas in lawns and contributes to drainage and flooding problems. Using a retaining wall in Germantown, MD, helps prevent this problem and is an investment in the overall value of a property.

Types of Retaining Walls

A retaining wall in Germantown, MD, can be one of four basic types. Each is best suited to solve a specific terrain problem.

Gravity Retaining Wall. These walls leverage the weight and volume of the materials used to construct them as a counterbalance for the stress and force of the soil behind them.

Cantilevered Retaining Wall. This type of wall has materials added to its interior to give it extra strength. These include metal, hardened reinforced concrete or mortared filament.

Sheet Piling Retaining Wall. This wall works best with clay soil and in narrow spots.

Anchored Retaining Wall. This type of wall can be constructed in the style of a gravity, cantilevered or sheet piling wall. It gives each greater support and reinforcement.

Materials for Retaining Walls

A retaining wall in Germantown, MD, can become a focal point for a landscape design. They are made from natural materials like stone and timber, and man-made materials like modular block.

They draw attention to walkways and patios and define boundaries and zones of use within a yard. As they hold back the soil and stabilize the terrain, they provide beauty and a rustic, natural feel to a yard.

The retaining wall and paver patio was tastefully blended into the back of our house and the contours and seams were impeccable.... The field stone terrace garden plots were truly a work of art and science... Thanks again for such a beautiful job.

We are thrilled with our new stream and pond. We waited a long time, did a lot of research and talked to many landscapers about this work. Although we were expecting your work to be good, it turned out better than our expectations. Your attitude, as well as your crew's, was professional and upbeat...
