Retaining Wall Installation Process

While their primary purposes are to hold soil and protect a building’s foundation, retaining walls can also add visual interest to your outdoor space. Retaining walls can be built from precast concrete blocks, wood, concrete, or armor stone.

GTA Sunrise is a reputable retaining wall contractor you can entrust with building retaining walls of any type and complexity. We always do our best to bring our clients’ ideas to life, ensuring a safe and sturdy construction.

We start with preparing a solid base, which is the key step in every retaining wall project. Once the base is ready, we get down to building the wall itself. 

Depending on the type of retaining wall, there are many factors to take into account for the construction to be steady and serve you for decades. For example, we add clear gravel to backfill the wall to ensure proper drainage. Also, we always make sure that the reinforcement grid directs pressure downwards and not against blocks or timber.

Our technicians have years of experience delivering commercial and residential services and know all the ins and outs of constructing a durable retaining wall. 

Types of Retaining Walls We Are Experts In

Interlocking Step

Armor Stone Retaining Wall

Armor stone is a popular choice for retaining walls, known for its high integrity and aesthetically pleasing appearance. If you’re looking to build a wall out of armor stone, we can help you. As experienced retaining wall contractors, we can assist you in selecting quality materials and building a robust wall according to your design. 

Concrete Retaining Wall

Our team is equipped with all the necessary tools and skills to construct concrete retaining walls. While concrete is usually chosen for its strength and durability, it can also become a stylish addition to your yard — concrete can be smooth, stained, veneered, or carved. Experienced technicians at our retaining wall company can help you build a concrete wall from scratch — from recommending the best layout to project completion. 

Wooden Retaining Wall

If you prefer the natural look of wood to masonry and concrete, we can help you construct a visually appealing and sturdy wall out of wood. Our skilled technicians can consult you on the type of wood that best suits your needs, install robust footing and timber deadmen, and build the wall from lumber boards, firmly fastening them with screws, spikes, or rebar. 

Precast Block Retaining Wall

If you’re searching for reliable contractors to help you build a precast block wall in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, contact us. We have built numerous retaining walls in Toronto and GTA, including precast block walls, both cantilever and gravity retaining walls. From choosing the best precast blocks through preparing the base to finishing your wall, we’ll work closely with you to meet all your needs and expectations.

Retaining Wall Repair Services

No matter the material, retaining walls require periodic maintenance since they aren’t wholly immune to soil pressure and the elements. Unfortunately, natural wear and tear can significantly reduce their lifespan. Besides, poor installation, drainage issues, and improper materials used in construction also contribute to damages.

While you can slow down the deterioration of a wall by regularly removing the weeds around your wall to prevent them from expanding and creating gaps and shifts, some cases call for professional assistance. 

If you notice any of the following signs, don’t delay contacting retaining wall contractors to address the issues before they have grown into significant problems:

  • A tilted wall
  • A wall separating from the main structure
  • Crumbling pavers
  • Noticeable cracks

The sooner you spot a problem and call a retaining wall repair company, the less expensive the job will be. We are trusted retaining wall contractors in Toronto who can help you solve your landscaping issues promptly and efficiently.

Let’s explore the answers to some common questions about retaining walls:

Which retaining wall material is the most cost-effective?

Timber and dry-stacked stone retaining walls are often the most cost-effective options. However, their durability and longevity may be limited compared to other materials. For a perfect balance between affordability and durability, consider a concrete block retaining wall.

What is the strongest material for a retaining wall?

Concrete and reinforced concrete are among the strongest materials for retaining walls. They offer excellent load-bearing capacity, long-lasting durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Contact GTA Sunrise to discuss which material is best suited for your project.

What is the most stable wall?

The stability of a retaining wall depends on factors such as design, material, and construction quality. Properly designed and constructed gravity walls, cantilever walls, and geogrid-reinforced walls tend to be highly stable. Consult with our experts at GTA Sunrise to ensure you choose a stable and durable retaining wall for your property.

What is the best retaining wall to prevent erosion?

Vegetated and gabion retaining walls are particularly effective in preventing erosion. Vegetated walls incorporate live plants, promoting natural root systems to stabilize the soil. Gabion walls use wire mesh baskets filled with stones, allowing water to flow through while preventing soil erosion. Speak with a specialist at GTA Sunrise to select the best erosion-preventing retaining wall for your landscape.
