So, what is a retaining wall and when do you need one?  Before you shop, you should have a little basic knowledge about retaining walls.

Precast Concrete Retaining Walls Provide a Variety of Benefits

Retaining walls can be used for a variety of reasons.  The most common reason is to hold back soil.  If there is a significant difference in elevation on your property, the retaining wall can stop erosion and hold back the soil rather than allowing the slope to increase.  Not only is this an attractive solution, but in many cases it can protect your home and your property.

A retaining wall will typically be holding back a great deal of soil.  The soil’s natural place to go is down, meaning that great amounts of pressure is being put on your retaining wall on a daily basis.  Over time, most retaining walls start to bulge or crumble.  

That’s why it is so important to have a quality product you can trust.  Precast concrete retaining walls are constructed from concrete and reinforced with Forta Ferro fibers.  They are weather resistant and durable, and can easily last for decades.

If you decide you need a retaining wall, you’ll want to make sure you choose one that fits into your lifestyle.  Consider the design of your property, and what would complement it.  Retaining walls are not only functional, but fashionable.

Permacast offers a variety of finishes that are made from original molds.  With various colors and styles, you’ll be sure to find something that enhances your property.

Make sure you have an expert to consult.  Permacast can give you the information you need to make an informed decision.  Height is an important consideration when choosing a retaining wall.  

You will need to determine what height is necessary to produce the desired results and maintain control over the years.  This prevents you from having to consistently maintain or restructure your retaining wall.  Of course, with Permacast walls there is little to no maintenance due to their structure.
