Why Retaining Walls Matter in Atlanta’s Landscape
In Atlanta, the uneven topography and dense clay soil make managing sloped land a necessity. A properly designed retaining wall is an engineering solution that ensures a property’s stability and functionality. Its purpose is to prevent erosion and create usable spaces, protecting your property’s value in the long term.
The Challenge of Atlanta’s Topography and Soil
The combination of natural slopes and the low-drainage capacity of Georgia’s predominant red clay soil can lead to significant problems. The absence of a containment structure can result in:
- Soil erosion: The displacement of earth that damages landscaping and vegetation.
- Limited usability: Steep terrains restrict the construction of patios, walkways, and recreational areas.
- Structural damage: Uncontrolled water runoff can compromise a building’s foundation.
- Impact on property value: Land instability can negatively affect a property’s resale value.
