RETAINING WALLS

Benefits of Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are an excellent hardscape feature that provides stability and enhances the overall look of your property. Strategically built retaining walls by Ottawa Paving can help make better use of your yard’s slopes. Retaining walls can be used to level turf, create a tiered patio, or flatten a hilly area. They allow you to transform an uneven terrain into an outdoor masterpiece.

Retaining walls also help combat the effects of gravity on your land. Soil erosion is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to the earth’s shift over time. Ottawa Paving’s retaining walls will keep your soil in place, preventing erosion and slope issues. Our installers ensure that your retaining walls are built with quality materials that last a long time.

Paver Retaining Walls

Building a retaining wall is a fantastic way to use paver stones, especially for residential and commercial landscaping. In general, they control water drainage down slopes and protect dirt or fill from falling down slopes, especially during rain. 

Pavers for retaining walls come in a wide range of colours, patterns, and dimensions. To maintain harmony and order across your yard, Ottawa Paving advises choosing the same concrete pavers and paver colours for various projects. 

Retaining Wall Options and Paver Designs

Although there are numerous materials that may be utilized to construct retaining walls, paver retaining walls are growing in popularity because of the range of design options and overall simplicity of installation. There are several colour, shape, and size options for retaining wall pavers. 

The height of the wall will affect the design and materials needed, therefore decide on the height of the wall first when planning your paver retaining wall. For a particularly tall retaining wall, Ottawa Paving advises seeking advice from a contractor or paver manufacturer as large constructions can be tricky. Walls are frequently governed by specific local laws and ordinances. For instance, before being built, walls must first be designed and approved by an engineer. 

Installing Paver Retaining Walls

Installing a paver retaining wall will be easier if you use segmented brick. These bricks fit together easily and stay together. Before installing the brick, you must dig a trench to the appropriate depth and width. The general rule is that the trench should be one inch deep for every eight inches of the structure’s total height. You will need to add 5-7 inches to this depth for the aggregate base and sand. After digging the trench, make sure to compact the soil. Then add 4-6 inches of aggregate base and compact. Finally, pour a 1-inch bed of coarse sand over the aggregate base.

Ottawa Paving recommends consulting with a professional for tall retaining walls and checking your local area’s regulations. When installing, use segmented brick and follow the proper depth and width guidelines.
