The Purpose of a Landscaping Retaining Wall
Retaining walls perform many landscaping functions and often add beauty to your property. They are commonly installed by Braselton retaining wall contractors for the following reasons:
- Aesthetic purposes in a landscaped garden area
- To create a solid wall to hold back or contain soil
- To create tiered levels in sloping areas to expand usable space or for planting
- To prevent erosion and storm water damage
- For outdoor living area features such as patio enclosures, raised gardens or sitting walls
Solving Landscape Drainage & Erosion Problems
Whether it’s a long-standing drainage or erosion problem, or something new that has developed, a muddy yard and standing water in the property can cause significant property damage.
There are many very practical solutions for solving drainage problems, such as checking whether gutters and downspouts are working properly, and sloping the grade away from the building. One of the initial ways to treat drainage problems is to slow the speed of the water down as it travels downhill by introducing a check dam, which are small walls, built into trenches or swells. This causes water to collect in one section of the swell, and then overflow into the next.
With storm damage that is causing significant property damage, it’s important to understand the source. Surface water may have recently increased due to changes in adjacent roadways, driveways, or even an adjacent property. So, the first goal for Hoschton and Braselton retaining wall contractors is to determine the source of the problem — in order to recommend the best solution.

Types of Retaining Wall Materials
Preferred retaining wall materials include precast and poured concrete, stone, wood timber, masonry, steel, or brick. Base materials include various-sized sharp-edged, crushed gravel to ensure the right amount of compaction.
Landscaping Retaining Wall Repairs
Do you have a retaining wall that is crumbling or protruding under pressure? Our landscape professionals will evaluate the current situation and make recommendation as to whether you need a new retaining wall installed or an existing wall repaired.
Are Retaining Wall Plans and Permits Required in Georgia?
One important fact to be aware of is that many Georgia municipalities now require engineered plans and permits for retaining walls over a certain height, typically 4 feet.
For example, the Gwinnett County Department of Planning and Development website says, “A Building Permit (BLD) is required for retaining walls that are greater than 4 feet in height from the top of the footing. A building permit is also required for retaining walls less than four feet in height when the slope of backfill materials exceeds a 1 foot rise in 3 feet length or when the wall will be required to support a surcharge load.”
While we make every effort to recommend a variety of approved options including multiple low retaining walls arranged to create tiered levels in the property, property owners should allow for this possibility when planning a project as it can greatly impact the timing of the work.
