Where do you need stone retaining wall builders?
Everything you need to know about finding a Stone Retaining Wall Builder
Retaining walls can be constructed from a range of materials including stone. Their function is to hold or retain a load of soil, typically on a sloped site. Stone retaining walls often provide structural stability on building sites where erosion is a potential problem, and also offer an aesthetic solution to a potential eye sore – an unsightly wall of soil. For any retaining wall to function efficiently it must provide drainage for any water that may build up against the wall. This has the potential to cause the wall to subside or collapse. Common uses for a retaining wall include decorative features such as a flower bed, or for breaking a contour on your property.
Any type of durable natural stone can be used for a retaining wall, including sandstone, granite and limestone.
The following considerations should be kept in mind when constructing any stone retaining wall:
- consult your local authority as building approval may be necessary for a stone retaining wall
- consult Australian Standard AS 4678 pertaining to earth-retaining structures
- the type of soil on your property
- the intended height of the wall, which will ultimately determine if you need council approval
- the amount of slope on your site
