In the winter of 2022, we received a call from a Clarkston homeowner facing a serious problem with their old retaining wall. Located near the water’s edge, the existing wall was built from railroad ties many years ago and was unsafe and unstable.
When we first visited the property, we could see immediate issues. The wall was shifting and looked worn out. The homeowners were concerned about both safety and the wall’s appearance. Our team knew this would be a challenging project, especially because access to the site was extremely limited.
After careful consideration, we recommended a Redi-Rock gravity wall. This type of wall is often used in challenging locations like commercial buildings, government roads, and areas that need to hold back large amounts of material. Redi-Rock is perfect for tall retaining walls and works well in tight spaces.
Why did we choose Redi-Rock?
The material is incredibly heavy and strong. It requires less building material and is ideal for situations where space is tight. This was one of the few times we’ve used this specific solution, but we knew it was the right choice for this Clarkston property.
The project wasn’t easy. We had to work around tight access and complex site conditions. However, our team is experienced in handling challenging renovation projects in the Clarkston area.
Important Considerations for Retaining Walls:
- Safety is the top priority
- Always consult with local experts
- Check with city regulations
- Consider professional assessment for large walls
For Clarkston homeowners dealing with old, unstable retaining walls, we recommend a professional evaluation. Every property is unique, and what worked for one homeowner might not work for another. If you’re worried about your retaining wall, reach out to local experts who understand the specific challenges of our area.
We’re proud to help Clarkston homeowners protect their properties and improve their outdoor spaces. Our commitment to quality and safety drives everything we do.
