What Is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall is a structural feature designed to hold back soil and create level areas in your landscape.
Professionally built retaining walls provide:
- Soil stabilization
- Erosion control
- Improved drainage
- Increased usable outdoor space
A properly installed retaining wall system ensures long-term stability and protects your property from shifting ground.
Why Choose Retaining Walls?
Installing a retaining wall provides both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Retaining walls keep soil in place and protect your property from washouts and shifting.
Create Usable Space
Transform sloped areas into functional outdoor living spaces.
Improve Drainage
A properly built retaining wall system manages water flow and reduces pooling.
Enhance Property Value
A professionally installed retaining wall adds structure and visual appeal to your landscape.
Our Retaining Wall Installation Process
At Unicorn Landscaping Inc., we follow a proven process to ensure your retaining wall installation is strong and long-lasting.
Step 1: Excavation
We prepare the area by removing soil and creating a stable base.
Step 2: Base Preparation
A compacted aggregate base is installed to support the wall structure.
Step 3: Wall Construction
Blocks or stones are carefully installed and leveled to ensure structural integrity.
Step 4: Drainage System
Proper drainage is installed behind the wall to prevent pressure buildup.
Step 5: Backfilling & Finishing
We backfill and compact soil to complete the retaining wall installation.
This process ensures your retaining wall remains stable and durable for years.
