Concrete Retaining Walls offer a reliable and sturdy solution for terracing sloped landscapes, shorelines, roadsides, or other outdoor areas. Built from poured concrete and reinforced with steel rebar for extra strength, these walls are designed to hold back soil, creating level land surfaces or containing soil at different heights. They can also be used as decorative features in yards and gardens. 

Concrete Retaining Walls are most often poured in place using cinder blocks or other forms that contain the wet mixture while it dries. A layer of waterproof membrane is first applied to the interior surface of the form, followed by a layer of sand and gravel which helps prevent erosion around the base of the wall. The concrete is then mixed on-site and poured into the forms while they’re still standing. Steel reinforcing bars may be added to provide additional structural support. After it sets, the wall will be strong enough to hold back large amounts of earth. 

When building Concrete Retaining Walls, many aspects must be considered, such as local weather conditions, soil type, and weight load that the wall needs to hold back. It’s important to plan ahead and make sure all measurements are precise before any construction begins; this way, you can be sure that your wall will remain stable throughout its lifespan.
