Why Add a Retaining Wall
If your home is built on sloping land or is grappling with soil erosion caused by wet and harsh Chicago winters, a retaining wall can secure the high-level functioning of your property's landscapes.
Retaining walls also help manage water drainage. Without proper drainage, your sloping property is likely to experience flooding or foundation issues. In this case, a retaining wall that includes correct drainage features can preserve your home and grounds while minimizing the need for continual maintenance.
In addition to providing support and drainage relief, retaining walls create stable level areas in your outdoor living space. These zones can be turned into beautiful garden spots, fire pits, pool surroundings, play spaces, and lounge corners.
So, whether you have a structural problem or you simply want an aesthetic landscaping addition, Zenon's Landscape & Outdoor Services can design and install a retaining wall that is sure to increase your home's value.
Types of Retaining Walls & Materials
Property retaining walls can be made using various materials, depending on the purpose of the wall and the weather conditions it will endure over its lifetime. When you contact us to make a retaining wall here in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs, our team will schedule a site visit, determine which materials work best, and explain the initial steps for the project. As professional landscaping contractors, we use the strongest and highest-quality materials for any of our projects.
Gravity Retaining Walls
Gravity retaining walls are built to prevent soil from eroding and eventually shifting downhill. They should always be constructed of strong concrete blocks or heavy stones that can hold their position against pressure. Our expert team can determine the load-bearing capacity necessary for these sturdy, lower-height concrete block walls to stand firm.
Segmental Retaining Walls
When designing a segmental retaining wall to add dimension or tiered levels in your outdoor space, you can choose from hundreds of cement, natural stone, or timber blocks in all colors, textures, and sizes. These durable decorative pieces can be creatively assembled, adding natural beauty to your environment.
What Sets Our Retaining Walls Apart
Zenon's Landscape & Outdoor Services provides superior designs and top-notch material choices to elevate your property. A retaining wall is not just a wall. It can also become a tasteful improvement to your outdoor patio or garden by incorporating water features, steps, seating, plants, and more.
Planning and installing a retaining wall to withstand the cold and variable Chicago weather can be tricky, and we have the experience to do it masterfully. We come out to your property and provide you with a fair estimate that includes designing your wall, preparing the site, and completing the construction using the best possible materials.
You'll need a building permit in Chicago if your retaining wall is at least 4 feet tall or supports a surcharge, such as a pool, driveway, or other structure. Our expert staff can measure and evaluate to determine whether a permit is required and, if so, help you through the permit process.
