When designing and building a retaining wall, there are a variety of factors to consider, regardless of whether it’s intended for residential or commercial use. The same standard of care should be applied to walls as a bridge since they are both structures. Depending on the application and your experience, you may wonder what style of wall will work best for the site, how deep the footing needs to be buried, if it needs reinforced, or even what material is best for the location.
When building a retaining wall, make sure it’s 900 in the ground and sit it on a little rock, so the water can drain through it.
Only reason they fall over is the water can’t get away, so drain behind it nice and proper.
