Retaining Rock Wall Project
If you're looking for an attractive and cheaper alternative to timber retaining walls, Earth-Tech Civils specialises in dry rock retaining walls. Dry-rock retaining walls do not require any drainage system as water naturally drains through the gaps in the rocks, nor do they need a concrete footing.
These type of walls are also particularly beneficial in areas of reactive ground; as the ground moves naturally the wall (as it is not cemented in) moves with the ground. As it settles, this further strengthens the wall, unlike a concrete or brick wall where cracks will appear.
