We're Baltimore's Best Retaining Walls Contractors!


Retaining wall materials come from many different types of materials in various shapes and sizes. From poured concrete to stacked stone, Detailz Construction offers many different retaining wall options for both residential and commercial clients. As concrete & masonry contractors, our company is well positioned to handle almost any wall system from dry stacked walls to concrete retaining wall installations. 


It’s not only about the wall appearance. There are many factors that are very important to consider when planning to construct or repair a retaining wall. Depending on the grade conditions of the surrounding area, certain materials may be better than others. Diverting and controlling water are some of the most important factors into choosing the correct wall materials.

 

Typically, these walls systems fail because of built up water pressure. As we continue seeing weather patterns change we factor in grade of earth, the quantity of crushed stone needed to prevent hydrostatic pressure, footing sizes and a myriad of other factors to ensure a new wall is properly constructed. Small things like weep holes, drainage, geogrid and properly compacted soil and stone and fill behind a gravity wall are vitally important.

What Are Retaining Walls and Why Are They Important?

Retaining walls, also known as “retained walls” are walls that hold back earth or water. If you own a home on a steep slope in Baltimore, retaining walls can be a critical asset to your property. These walls help prevent soil erosion caused by the natural slope of your land, particularly after heavy rains or windy weather, both of which are common in our area.



Retaining walls are basically like big, strong guards that hold back soil or water. Let's say your house is on a steep hill in Baltimore. It might be hard to play or plant a garden because everything slopes down. But if you install a retaining wall, it can hold back the soil and make the land more flat and safer for activities. This means your sloped backyard can be transformed into flat, usable space for patios, gardens, or even playgrounds for your children.


Think about when it rains really hard, or when the wind blows strong. The soil on the slope can start to move or wash away. But a retaining wall can stop that from happening, so you don't lose your yard over time to erosion.


These walls are also great for keeping your home safe. Sometimes, too much soil can move all at once in a landslide, which can be dangerous. Retaining walls can help prevent this by keeping the soil in place.


Understanding the necessity and value of retaining walls, Detailz Construction Corporation is committed to providing expert retaining wall installation services to Baltimore homeowners, helping you make the most of your land while ensuring safety and adding aesthetic appeal.
