Retaining Wall Contractors in Atlanta

Clear the area where the retaining wall will be installed, removing any vegetation, debris, or obstacles. Excavate the soil to the required depth, ensuring a stable and level base. Install a compacted aggregate base or reinforced concrete footing for added stability, depending on the wall’s height and load-bearing requirements.

Begin by laying the first course of Techo-Bloc wall units, ensuring proper alignment and levelness. Use a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer to set each unit firmly in place. Install subsequent courses, staggering the joints for added strength and stability. Make any necessary cuts or adjustments to ensure a seamless fit.

As you progress with the wall installation, backfill the space behind the wall with suitable granular material, such as gravel or crushed stone. Compact the backfill material in thin layers using a compactor or tamper. Ensure proper compaction to minimize settling and maintain the integrity of the wall.

Once the retaining wall is installed and backfilled, add any desired finishing touches, such as coping or cap stones, to enhance the appearance and functionality of the wall. Clean up the construction area and ensure the surrounding landscape is restored to its original condition.
