  1. Basic Tips For Best Geelong Retaining Walls If you are in the process of constructing a retaining wall that will provide you with the necessary strength to support your foundations, you need to make sure that you will get the most out of the wall's design and construction. To accomplish this, you must know the required specifications and materials for the wall's foundation and wall reinforcement. There are also other factors, such as drainage, which you have to take note of when planning for the wall's design. Here are some of the basic tips to get the best Geelong Retaining walls for your home. First off, you need to assess the wall type to be constructed. There are different wall types, based on the soil type (log or clay) and the amount of slope or inclination on the area that you can afford to have the Geelong retaining wallsbuilt on. If you are going to build a wall that is primarily for aesthetic purposes or beautification, you can opt to build with concrete and only use the required amounts of materials for wall reinforcement, such as rebar, concrete blocking, or stones. But if you want the wall to be strong enough to withstand calamities like heavy rains, you should build it with materials that are more suitable for resisting external force. The next tip for the material used in the wall is the type of structure used to support the wall's weight and the required structures to hold the walls in place. If you are using wood as the materials used for the wall, you will want to go with treated hardwoods. Treated hardwoods are more resistant to moisture, wear and tear, termites and to a certain extent, insects. However,

  2. treated woods are more expensive compared to the other types of materials. If the wall's weight is going to be quite heavy, then you might want to choose materials such as concrete blocks or concrete slabs. When planning drainage for the Geelong retaining walls, you need to make sure that it would not affect the structure of the walls and at the same time, it should provide proper water distribution to plants on the walls.
