Another critical factor in solving residential drainage problems is controlling the flow of water from one property to the next. Local codes require that water flow between properties be maintained at pre-construction levels once a new home is built – and for the duration of home ownership.

To prevent this overflow from happening, we install measures to protect your property from experiencing drainage coming from your neighbors’ yard, as well as restrict water from your yard going to your neighbor’s. For a complimentary onsite appointment with Johns Creek retaining wall contractors Greenlawn Georgia, contact us through our contact form or at (770) 375-9640.

Retaining Wall Types by Johns Creek Retaining Wall Contractors

Our Johns Creek retaining wall contractors have many  years of experience in installing a wide variety of different types of block walls. The well-built block, concrete or stone retaining wall is essential for controlling storm water flow and soil erosion, and for providing sturdy ground for stairs, ramps, and patios. The following are the types of walls Greenlawn Georgia Hardscaping and Landscaping installs:

• Modular, Segmental, Interlocking Retaining Walls that are used to hold back a sloping face of soil to provide a solid, vertical front.
• Poured Concrete Retaining Walls that  offer superior vertical and lateral strength, and waterproofing capabilities.
• Dry Stack or Natural Stone Walls that are primarily decorative, yet can be used to retain smaller rises. Natural stone walls also work well in landscaping design, used especially in raised beds near patios, swimming pool, fire pits, etc.
• Timber, Wooden, Pressure Treated Retaining Walls are not frequently recommended as they have a limited life span – often less than eight years. We encourage our customers to consider more permanent retaining wall materials and designs.

Greenlawn Georgia Hardscaping and Landscaping uses a customized design and planning process for each project. There are a variety of important design factors to determine prior to beginning construction on a retaining wall including the elevation and slope of the ground, soil conditions, the height for the new wall and surrounding drainage conditions. Retaining walls adjacent to a parking lot or other surcharge condition would be designed accordingly to handle the additional weight.
