Panel Retaining Wall : Fuller's Landscape Company

Panel Retaining Wall

Having a beautifully built retaining wall can significantly enhance the look of your landscaping and the overall exterior of your home. That’s why it’s critical to hire retaining wall specialists when planning this type of project. At Fuller’s Landscape Co. Ltd., we will work with you to develop a plan that meets your landscaping needs and build the retaining wall to suit those needs. However, before starting, it is helpful to know what type of retaining wall you are interested in.

Pros of Panel

Panel retaining walls are known for their modern look and structural efficiency. They are composed of pre-cast concrete panels and can be designed to fit various landscaping needs.

Durability: Panel retaining walls are extremely durable and can withstand significant pressure from soil and weather elements.
Quick Installation: Since the panels are pre-cast, the installation process is faster compared to traditional masonry walls.
Customizable: Panels can be customized in terms of size, texture, and color, offering flexibility to match your landscape design.

Cons of Panel

While panel retaining walls have numerous advantages, there are some considerations:

Cost: The initial cost can be higher due to the manufacturing and transportation of pre-cast panels.
Maintenance: Regular maintenance is required to ensure the integrity of the joints and connections between panels.
Wildlife Interaction: While we take care to plant native and deer-resistant plants around your retaining wall, we cannot guarantee protection against wildlife trampling, eating, or rubbing against the plants. Clients without fenced properties should particularly consider this risk.

Installation

Having a beautifully built retaining wall can really improve the look of your landscaping and the overall exterior of your home. That’s why it’s critical to hire retaining wall specialists when planning this type of project. At Fuller’s Landscape Co.

Step 1- Site Preparation

We start by assessing the site and preparing the area for construction.
Any existing vegetation, debris, or old structures are removed to ensure a clean working area.

Step 2- Excavation and Base Preparation

Excavation is done to create a level base for the retaining wall.
A layer of compacted gravel is laid down to provide a stable foundation.

Step 3- Panel Placement

Pre-cast concrete panels are delivered to the site and positioned according to the design plan.
Each panel is carefully aligned and anchored to ensure stability.

Step 4- Backfilling

Backfill material is added behind the panels to provide support and ensure proper drainage.
Compaction of the backfill material is done to maintain the integrity of the wall.

Step 5- Finishing Touches

The top of the retaining wall is finished with capstones or other decorative elements.
The surrounding area is landscaped to integrate the retaining wall with your overall garden design.

Maintenance

Once our job is complete, the responsibility for ongoing maintenance lies with the client. This includes:

Weeding: Regular removal of weeds around the retaining wall.
Plant Care: Keeping plants and trees alive by following the care instructions provided.
Inspection: Periodic inspection of the wall for any signs of damage or wear, especially at the joints and connections.
