The Retaining Wall Standard Guide
Our Retaining Wall Guide
Step 1
1. Preparation
The location of retaining wall should be marked out first. Utilities, phone company and cable TV providers should then be contacted to locate any buried cables and/or services.
Step 2
2. Base
The depth of excavation depends on soil type. Clay soil requires deeper excavation; sandy soil requires less. On average 6″ – 12″ depth.
Step 3
3. Leveling
The excavated area is filled with a gravel base and compacted
using a gas-powered plate compactor in layers 2″ – 3″ thick. Insuring proper hight of retaining wall.
Step 4
4. Wall Construction
Starting with the base row and making sure everything is perfectly leveled. Then staggering and also stepping back as each row is in place.
Step 5
5. Backfilling
Gravel backfill should be added after every 2 rows of block, using clear gravel. Filter fabric is used to separate the existing soils from the clear gravel.
This will improve the durability of the wall by keeping the area behind the wall frost-free.
Step 6
6. Drainage Pipe
Installation of Perforated O-pipe along the first row of your wall. This will ensure water flows away from behind the retaining wall.
Step 7
7. Wall Fabric
Installation of Retaining wall fabric encasing your clear stone to keep out the potential for mud and accumulation of ice formation in the future.
Step 8
8. Finish
The final row of blocks or coping should be glued with a concrete adhesive; in some cases this might be a special cap.
After the glue has set (approx. 4 – 8 hours), you may backfill with soil, put in sod or install plants to complete your installation.
