Retaining Wall Installation
in Gibsonia, PA

Daily Landscaping knows all about layout and design. We know how to give you the most value with your retaining wall installation in Gibsonia, PA. Different materials have different uses and purposes, so here are some of the popular ones:

1. Wood is a natural way to segment your yard or keep water from causing soil erosion. You’ll have the option between wooden planks and timber. Timber retaining walls are thicker, but a little more expensive than their plank counterparts. Wood is a lightweight material and easy to repair or replace, but it can start to rot or be susceptible to termites.
2. You might not think of boulders when it comes to retaining walls, but they’ve been used for centuries. Boulders come in different sizes and can be stacked to reach any height, but the shape is always set.
3. If you’re looking for retaining walls with more color or texture options, you might like brick. It’s easy to install, repair, or replace. Brick can be a great choice to complement or tie together your landscaping or a remodel.
4. Concrete and poured concrete are similar, but very different, retaining walls. They both provide reliable protection and might crack if they freeze and thaw enough. Poured concrete is smooth, though, while concrete is usually textured. Either choice can be used to make whatever color scheme you’re going for stand out, too.

Another decision that most homeowners don’t know about is that there are multiple types of retaining walls. After you know the material, our experts will help you figure out the best retaining wall for your yard:

1. Anchored retaining walls can be supportive or standalone. They’re great for a lot of rainfall, because of how solid they are. The idea is that we’ll use cables or an actual anchor in the ground to hold them up.
2. Speaking of support, cantilevered retaining walls are another good choice. We’ll lay a slab of concrete on the ground to make them stronger. This concrete prevents the cantilevered retaining wall from leaning or shifting, and we can always add more stability.
3. Sheet piling retaining walls are perfect for smaller areas. The only restriction is that we can’t use them on hard ground, because we have to be able to put the vinyl, steel, or wood into the dirt.
4. Another popular option is the gravity retaining wall. Like the name suggests, these walls use gravity to stay in place. They’re versatile with what material can be used, so we’ll work with you to figure out which one will meet your needs the most. If necessary, we can dig a trench to raise your wall higher.
