Retaining Walls

Most people might not consider a retaining wall to be an opportunity to add a uniquely designed feature to their property, but with Accurate Cedar, we can definitely turn your boring old retaining wall into a fantastic feature of your yard! In the right setting, a brand new retaining wall can blend perfectly with the existing landscape of your yard. Many people prefer the natural look of a retaining wall built from cedar or other wood materials due to the fact that it can be a discreet way to compliment other wooden structures in your yard, while also being an affordable way to prevent erosion and unstable areas forming on your property. With Accurate Cedar, you can have a high quality cedar retaining wall installed on your property that will last a long time and keep your yard looking great, at a fraction of the cost of other materials.

In most cases, a wood retaining wall doesn’t exceed four feet tall, and is constructed according to two different methods that suit certain conditions. For raised flower beds, stanchions are installed vertically on concrete feet and horizontal cedar planks are used to support the landscape. For more substantial retaining walls, large timbers are stacked and secured to a reinforced extension in order to prevent large areas from sinking or eroding. Both of these methods use some type of water proof barrier in order to ensure the wood continues to remain intact for a number of years.

A typical retaining wall that is properly installed will last up to 20 years. With Accurate Cedar you can be sure that our team of experts will pay close attention to details such as water flow and the slope of your landscape in order to ensure that you get the most out of your new retaining wall in terms of durability and longevity. Should any problem with materials or installation occur after construction is completed, we will be sure to correct it at no additional cost thanks to our one-year workmanship warranty that comes standard with any work we do.
