How to build a Cincinnati retaining wall!

There are several very important steps in building a retaining wall.

As with any construction project, safety is the primary concern. Cutting benches with an excavator into a hillside is not for the faint of heart. Our operators have the experience to ensure safety throughout the wall building project.

The second thing that is important is the foundation. It is imperative to create a solid foundation under the wall. In most cases the foundation base is made below grade, out of crushed limestone. Although there are other materials that can be used for the base, limestone is usually what is best. Once the base is created, it is compacted. This can be accomplished by hand or with a vibratory compactor, which creates a solid foundation for the wall.

After the base is set, the wall can then begin. Depending on how tall the wall is will determine the need for geo-textile cloth. The taller the wall, the more rows of geo-cloth will be needed. This cloth is used to support the wall and to keep the wall from ever bulging from backside pressure. It is important to note in all of our Cincinnati retaining walls, that the back fill material is always crushed limestone, without dust. This is stone that has been crushed and all of the dust and very small chips have been removed to make sure water can't be trapped on the backside. Contractors who use other types of material as backfill run the chance of creating a hydraulic dam against the wall which will over time cause the wall to fail. We also make certain in all of our walls to use drainage tile behind the wall to relieive any water from the back side.

Once the wall has reached its designed height, we either cap the wall or dress the top to accept plant material of some type. Ivy, grass or other ground cover offers a great solution.
