Retaining Structures FAQs
What types of retaining walls do you build in Berkshire?
We build gabion, gravity, cantilever, reinforced masonry and decorative brick retaining walls in Berkshire.
How high can a retaining wall be?
We typically construct retaining walls from around 4ft to 12ft, subject to the site conditions and required design. Higher or more complex walls may need structural engineering input.
Why does a retaining wall need drainage?
Drainage is essential because water can build up behind a retaining wall and create hydrostatic pressure. We incorporate suitable drainage measures to direct water away, reduce pressure and help protect the wall’s long-term performance.
Do retaining walls require planning permission or building regulations approval?
Requirements depend on the wall’s height, position, proximity to boundaries, roads or neighbouring land, and the scope of the work. We can discuss likely considerations during consultation, but formal requirements should be confirmed for your individual project.
Can you include steps, paving and garden terracing with a retaining wall?
Yes. Our retaining wall service can include terraced garden construction, steps, paving, flooring interfaces, decorative finishes, planting areas and provisions for outdoor lighting or garden features, creating a cohesive landscaped result.
