Pittsburgh Retaining Wall Contractors build retaining walls that combine form and purpose. Particularly on hills, like the areas around Pittsburgh PA, or in places where plants can’t grow, retaining walls can hold back the soil behind them, helping to avoid erosion and adding soil rich environments for plants or gardens. For steep terrain, also common to Pittsburgh, retaining walls are also utilized to level up the ground and make it usable for things like driveways and different types of fields for utility or sports.

Additionally, our retaining wall installers in Pittsburgh can improve landscape design using retaining walls. For instance, our retaining wall installers can also design retaining walls to create various topography elevations or levels in a garden to improve the aesthetic.

As opposed to the walls that support a building or other structures, retaining walls are different. Retaining walls are intended to sustain horizontal loads, whereas the walls of a house or an apartment complex are made to support vertical loads like roofs and ceilings. Because of this, the engineering and design of a retaining wall are different from those of a building’s wall.

Although the materials used to construct retaining walls and other types of walls share some similarities, some materials are better suited for use with retaining walls. We work with all types of materials and can construct any type of wall that you need for your project.a
