Retaining Walls

Constructing Retaining Walls and providing landscaping services to residents in Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.

What do retaining walls do? Retaining walls eliminate a hill by replacing a slope with a vertical retaining wall, thus eliminating the need for elevation changes within the landscape. Oftentimes, retaining walls are not only structurally necessary but desired in place of a hill. This landscaping technique helps to create additional usable space on an otherwise unusable hill. Let Bristoll Plantation, Inc. and our landscape architects construct a retaining wall so that you can get more use out of your business or home landscape. Chances are you do not want to look at a cement wall or had a railroad tie wall built many years ago that may be rotting.

A front patio or new retaining wall can transform your outdoor space into a functional and enjoyable area, enhancing your yard with hardscape features.

A properly engineered segmented or real stone retaining wall are sensible and popular choices when constructing a landscape design. Retaining walls are great options to incorporate into your commercial or residential landscape because their overall height can be adjusted and they are designed with aesthetics in mind. At Bristoll Plantation, Inc., we stand behind the quality of our stone retaining walls, not just because they will look good, but because they are extremely durable. We can say that with confidence, as we have been providing landscaping services and have been building retaining walls of all shapes and sizes since 1987.

As with all of our landscaping projects, your landscape design professional will start by listening to the problems and concerns you’re looking to solve. From that point on, your landscape issues will be transformed from an annoyance into a beautiful and functional finished product. A retaining wall will create additional usable space in such a way so that it will enhance your existing landscape architecture while increasing curb appeal– all contributing factors in increasing a property’s value.

Whether our professional landscapers use manufactured stone, natural stone, or wooden railroad ties, Bristoll Plantation, Inc. can help you redefine your business or home landscape with custom built retaining walls.

What is a Retaining Wall?

A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil, water, or other materials on a slope or uneven terrain. These walls are essential for preventing erosion, landslides, and other forms of soil instability. Retaining walls can be constructed from a variety of materials, including concrete, stone, brick, or wood, each offering unique aesthetic and functional benefits. In landscaping, retaining walls are often used to create level yard space, enhance curb appeal, and support features like patios and walkways. By incorporating retaining walls into your landscape design, you can transform challenging terrains into beautiful and functional outdoor spaces.

Types of Retaining Walls

There are several types of retaining walls, each designed to meet specific landscaping and drainage needs:

Gravity Walls: These walls rely on their weight and gravity to hold back soil and other materials. They are typically made from heavy materials like stone or concrete.

Cantilever Walls: Using a cantilever design, these walls resist soil pressure and provide additional support. They are often constructed from reinforced concrete.

Piling Walls: These walls use deep foundations to resist soil pressure and provide stability. They are ideal for areas with loose or soft soil.

Anchored Walls: Anchored walls use anchors or tiebacks to provide additional support and stability, making them suitable for high-load applications.

Hybrid Walls: Combining different materials and designs, hybrid walls offer unique solutions for specific landscaping challenges, providing both strength and aesthetic appeal.
