Commercial Retaining Wall Construction Around Atlanta

March 31, 2018 by retainingwallblog Leave a Comment

Why are commercial retaining walls important?

Retaining walls are special types of wall structures generally constructed for holding materials such as soil on the top sloping side. They are meant for support mainly, but they also prevent soil erosion. These are commonly used on Atlanta road construction projects, but also have many uses around Cumming and Suwanee Ga because of how hilly the terrain is. Land isn’t always flat when we’re building commercial buildings. Instead of just leveling everything up to allow for construction, retaining walls are considered a better option to use. They are constructed on the sloping areas so as to prevent the soil from collapsing. A flat land or a terrace is creat

ed which can be used for planting small plants and flowers, hence adding the aesthetic value of our commercial buildings. The retaining walls are better because they also get rid of the monotonous flat land and commercial environment. A better, nicer looking view is created like the Cumming GA block retaining wall in this picture.

Installation of commercial retaining walls

The installation and design of retaining walls to install in your commercial environment vary with a lot of factors. No job site is the same as the other. All the variables have to be considered before installing. These may include storm water management, vehicle loading, soil type and local code requirements. These structures are required to be as strong as possible especially for the large ones holding a lot of loads. Experts have to be involved in the construction as a result. There are retaining wall companies out there that specialize in this field and perhaps they can help you install them appropriately. They are required to have proper base, shape, paver size, texture and also the laying pattern should be desirable.

Public safety and ensuring compliance

Commercial retaining walls are supposed to meet the set standards set by the regulatory bodies. This is mainly to ensure the safety of all the people accessing your commercial workplaces. The standards to be met include the ground and floor surfaces. The expert companies can then recommend the right products to use so as to ensure that the design desired meets the needs such as slip resistance as well as detectable surface warnings.

Slope stabilization and soil erosion

Retaining wall are appropriate structures to use in order to prevent the damages caused by the above factors. The retaining walls need to be constructed perfectly by an expert in order for it to serve purposes such as improving aesthetics, making safe the commercial property will increase the usable land and also prevent runoff and erosion. The runoff and soil erosion factors have to be considered during the construction as well as afterwards.

Redi-Rock Commercial Walls

McCullough Landscaping is one of the leaders in commercial retaining wall construction in the Metro Atlanta area. Having the right equipment to undertake one of these massive projects is a must. Our company has invested millions of dollars into our machines so we can do any project no matter how small or how big.

Being a certified Redi-Rock installer, we have found that these products allow us to construct the strongest wall possible while at the same time producing an extremely attractive end result.

Redi-Rock is the leader in the commercial block retaining wall product industry, creating systems with “The Essence of Natural Rock”. Redi-Rock  has developed a complete line of coordinating products that include gravity walls, reinforced walls, freestanding walls, columns, caps, steps, and pavers.

Gravity Walls

Need to build close to an existing building, property line, or utilities?

The massive, one-ton Redi-Rock blocks rely on the sheer weight of each block to hold a hill or dirt in place. They don’t require geogrid reinforcement, so the amount of excavation required is minimized. The patented knob and groove design aligns blocks perfectly. Installation is fast and easy, just like building a Lego wall. The blocks are made of architectural grade precast concrete, but they look like natural stone, giving reinforced retaining walls a beautiful but strong look. See photo below where McCullough Landscaping used this Redi-Rock product.

Reinforced Walls

Have critical projects such as bridge abutments, wing walls, or retaining walls?

Redi-Rock Commercial Blocks

Redi-Rock Positive Connection (PC) System for reinforced walls are low maintenance and long lasting. The PC System requires only two components: the block and the geo-grid. There are no special connection components that can fail or corrode, which simplifies the construction sequence and provides a rock solid connection. Wet-cast, air-entrained concrete blocks offer greater durability and longer maintenance-free service life for reinforced walls. This in turn saves on maintenance costs over the life of the wall. This unique system provides taller wall design heights in just about every situation.

 Freestanding Walls

Looking for a freestanding wall, large planter, staircase, signage foundation?

Redi-Rock Freestanding blocks are textured on both sides, giving above-grade walls an unbeatable, finished look for any project you design. They stand freely on top of retaining walls or concrete surfaces creating a barrier wall or planter wall. Redi-Rock freestanding blocks weigh 1527 lbs. each, so you don’t have to worry about blocks moving or falling.

No matter how big the project, McCullough Landscaping can handle it! We don’t only use Redi-Rock products for these commercial retention wall projects. But we’ve found that they are the leader when it comes to the design and appearance of these massive building blocks. Whatever the project… we are ready to help.
