Did you know that Pittsburgh ranks as the third city in the nation for residential retaining walls? Retaining walls are essential for maximizing usable space on properties with slopes.
By strategically cutting back slopes and installing retaining walls, we can create space for driveways, patios, or larger flat areas in your backyard.
In Pittsburgh, where winters are long and characterized by numerous freeze-thaw cycles, the durability of retaining walls is paramount. These cycles are the primary cause of retaining wall failures. It's crucial to ensure that any retaining wall construction or replacement is built to withstand these challenging conditions.
An improperly designed retaining wall will gradually lean forward with each freeze-thaw cycle, ultimately leading to its failure.
Leaning and failing retaining walls are a common sight in the Pittsburgh area, underscoring the importance of thorough research before hiring a retaining wall contractor.
At Palat Landscaping, we stand behind our work with a 5-year craftsmanship warranty on all wall installations. We highly recommend and frequently install Versa-Lok retaining wall systems due to their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and longevity. Additionally, we offer Techo-bloc retaining walls for more decorative applications, which are equally durable and visually appealing.
