The Importance of Retaining Walls

Retaining walls can be an interesting architectural addition to many different environments-from roads, buildings, parks, and everything in between.  The most basic purpose of a retaining wall is to hold back land that would typically move downwards because of gravity.  Here is a visual representation of what different retaining walls people use (taken from Wikimedia Commons):

Retaining walls have to be comprised of durable and reliable materials to withstand the effects of gravity, potentially loose soil, and even water pressure.   Retaining walls are typically constructed from stone or poured concrete.  Bedrock specializes in retaining wall blocks that are interlocking and steadfast against the complications from the lateral pressure from soil.  It is important to have a unique appearance to your retaining wall along with having it serve its purpose.  Bedrock offers half blocks, corner blocks, top caps, and stair treads to further provide your retaining wall with an exquisite, one-of-a-kind appearance.  Our blocks are also expertly crafted to create walls as high as 6 feet tall without having to use a Geo Grid.
