How to Build a Retaining Wall
Retaining walls are a critical part of many landscaping projects and must be constructed properly. When planning, you must take into account several factors including wall height, water drainage patterns and more.

Engineering
Retaining walls over 39” (1 m), walls holding up steep slope or driveway, or terraced embankments are considered structural elements which require a proper design by an engineering professional. An improperly constructed retaining wall can be a safety hazard and be very costly to repair so it’s important to get it right the first time.

There are many factors which contribute to the design such as product type, height, load, bearing soils, infill soils and global stability of the area around the wall. All these factors must be taken into consideration for a strong and safe structure.

That’s where we come in. Unilock can help you obtain the right engineering for your project. Our affiliation with Risistone, North America’s leader in engineered wall systems gives you access to experienced professionals who can design your wall. Our Territory Managers can help guide throughout the design process. Preliminary designs are generally free. All you have to supply is the site soils information. It’s that easy.
