Retaining Wall FAQ
What is geo grid?
Geo grid is a durable, synthetic material used to reinforce the base of retaining walls and paver patios. It provides added stability and strength by preventing soil movement, which helps maintain the integrity and longevity of your hardscape installation.
Do you install wooden tie walls?
No, Lyons Landscapes does not install wooden tie walls. We specialize in durable and long-lasting retaining wall solutions using materials like natural stone, concrete blocks, and large format wet cast blocks for enhanced stability and aesthetics.
What causes a wall to lean or fall over?
A retaining wall can lean or fall over due to several factors, such as improper drainage, poor installation, or the use of inadequate materials. Excess water behind the wall can create pressure, leading to shifting or settling. Additionally, insufficient base preparation, lack of reinforcement, or failure to follow proper design standards can compromise the wall's stability.
How long is your warranty?
Lyons Landscapes offers a 5-year warranty on the craftsmanship of our retaining wall construction, separate from any manufacturer warranties on materials. This ensures your retaining wall is built to last, providing both durability and peace of mind.
