🚨 A retaining wall is only as strong as what’s underneath and behind it.
Most retaining walls don’t fail because of the blocks you see. They fail because of the steps you DON’T see.
6 steps you should NEVER skip! 👇
1️⃣ Solid Base – Proper excavation and compaction.
2️⃣ Buried First Course – Prevents sliding and erosion.
3️⃣ Drainage – Drainage rock, drain tile, and outlets.
4️⃣ Geogrid – Reinforcement when required.
5️⃣ Backfill – Proper material compacted in lifts.
6️⃣ Engineering – Build according to the wall’s design.
💪 The difference between a wall that lasts 5 years and one that lasts 50 is often the work you never see.
At Leake Land Leveling, we believe in doing it right the first time, because doing it twice costs a whole lot more.
