The terrain of Oakland, from the hills near Joaquin Miller Park and around the Oakland Zoo to the flatlands surrounding Lake Merritt, is a mixture of high and low with hills and mountains of Montclair, Piedmont Pines, and Oakmore to the low terrain of Temescal, Glenview and Redwood Heights. With a combination of these elevations and the clay soils in the region and seasonal rainfall, it means that retaining walls are necessary to stop erosion, stabilize the outdoor areas and provide safe and useful yards. The houses that line the curving hillside streets or face up to swelling land depend on highly developed walls to secure their property throughout the year.
Our crew offers the construction and repair of retaining walls that are specially designed to fit the topography of Oakland, humidity, and soils. You can be living close to Joaquin Miller Park, the Oakland Zoo or in the foothill areas that look into the bay, we construct retaining walls that protect the hill side but improve the beauty and usefulness of your landscape.
The Advantages of Retaining Wall Sealing and Coating
To make your retaining wall live longer and survive in the climate of Oakland, we are offering solutions of coating and sealing. The advantages of these protective treatments to your wall are as follows:
- Reducing water uptake in block and concrete surfaces.
- Ventilating against freeze-thaw expansion damage.
- Conserving the wall against stains of soil, mildew and moulds.
- Assistance in controlling moisture in clay heavy soil locations.
- Giving retaining walls of older age and worn surfaces durability.
- Enhancing structural strength through degradation reduction on the surface.
- Improving the look by the clean, polished finish.
When the proper sealants and coats are used, then your retaining wall will not be affected by seasonal alterations or wear with time.
How Proper Drainage Extends Wall Lifespan
The outward pressure created by the accumulation of water behind a wall causes the wall to lean, crack or even collapse- this is alleviated by proper drainage which is achieved by allowing the water to find a safe way out.
Proper drainage will allow the soil behind the wall not to expand and balance the structure in case of bulky winter storms.
Drainage systems minimize erosion, conserve materials and extend life of the structure by a considerable margin by taking water away off the wall.
Drainage is not a luxury, but an important part of a retaining wall that maintains the wall strong, stable and durable.
Popular Retaining Wall Erosion Causes
The most frequent cause of failure of the retaining walls in Oakland is erosion, particularly where the walls are situated on the hillside and lie in the direction of the wind, water flow, and soil erosion. Rainwater causes the soil to strive off at the bottom of the wall when it flows down steeples and may cause the wall to lose its foundation. Washout occurs in older walls that are not reinforced adequately and this causes the walls to settle in the long run or crack.
Roots and vegetation may also add to problems of erosion. With movement of soil, it forms openings behind the wall which puts pressure and decreases stability. Our crew determines the location and causes of the erosion in your backyard and comes up with mechanisms to stabilize the ground, strengthen the wall and eliminate future soil erosion.
Uneven Terrain Transforming with Retaining Wall Design
The hillsides of Oakland form gorgeous landscapes, yet the topography is not even, and you may not be able to utilize all your yard due to the versatility of the topography. A well-planned retaining wall modifies that area and makes steep and sloping areas functional and useable as patios, gardens, walkways, or outdoor living. Through the establishment of terraces, we assist people who own houses to make the most out of their land, enhance safety and accessibility.
The designs of our retaining walls are a unified element with the different architecture in Oakland, both the modern houses built on the hills and the old fashioned bungalows in the lower areas. We blend structural accuracy with intelligent design in order to make your wall enhance the appearance and usefulness of your outdoor space.
