The choice starts with ground and load
A retaining wall must resist soil and water pressure. Height, slope, soil, loads above the wall, access and rainfall must be reviewed before choosing stone or reinforced concrete.
Cast concrete retaining walls
What is commonly called a cast concrete wall is usually a designed reinforced-concrete retaining wall. Its footing, reinforcement and stem work together and must be sized by engineering calculation.
Stone retaining walls
A stone gravity wall can use its mass to retain the ground. Its base, section, stone placement, mortar and rear drainage matter as much as the visible masonry.
Drainage in Trabzon
Water behind either wall adds pressure and may weaken the soil. Filter material, drainage pipes, weep holes and surface-water routes must be designed from the start.
Permits and pricing
Requirements vary with location, height, roads and neighbouring parcels. Excavation, dimensions, materials, drainage, transport and access shape the price. Call +90 537 437 7635 for a project-specific review.
