Retaining Wall for Water? Why Not?

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Water Applications

Retaining Walls for Water

Live near a beach, a lake, river or stream? Then you probably know a little something about erosion, flooding and potential water damage to your home. One way to help remove these potential problems from around your home is to build a retaining wall. These “water” retaining walls are built to withstand the water and will help preserve, maintain and divert water away from the areas you want to protect – your home. Allan Block works well in this type of environment but these walls may need a bit more planning and design than a “standard” retaining wall. Check out the information they have on Water Applications before you get started – then maybe an engineer.

If a “water” retaining wall is what you need, then go with Allan Block – they have all the answers.
