Earth Retaining Wall Structures, Greenville SC

There are certain properties in and around Upstate South Carolina that have graded or sloping land and this also leads to soil erosion. Some landscaping projects to be installed, require certain sections of the land to be leveled for the installation of driveways, pathways and steps.

This leaves the surrounding soil without any support and it can collapse onto the driveway and damage the landscaping and be harmful to the structure of your house as well. In order to avoid these kinds of issues, Landcore Landscape Construction & Design can construct retaining structures on your property. We can build well-engineered retaining walls that add stability to the landscape and help in retaining soil and rocks.

Gravity Walls - These are small, half-height walls and are used in spaces where the slope is not very steep. The bases of these earth-retaining structures are much broader than the top and they lean towards the slope and a lot of material is used in their construction. These walls are not suitable for taller slopes
Cantilever Retaining Walls - These walls have a single layer and a uniform thickness. Their base is also firmly connected to a strong slab and can hold a lot of earth. They are also able to hold taller slopes. The structure of these walls is slightly complex
Sheet Pile Retaining Walls - These are also referred to as piling retaining walls and are constructed on soft soil or in spaces where there are insufficient places for wider barriers
Anchored Retaining Walls - These are like the standard piling retaining walls but have cables that are anchored into the ground around them. These walls are able to support heavy loads
