- San Ramon
The landscape of San Ramon has parts of hillside neighborhoods, terraced backyards, scenic overview along Gale Ranch, Windemere, the Dougherty Valley, and tree lines in the streets around the Crow Canyon and Bollinger Canyon. These heights provide scenic landscapes outside but they come with some challenges which include soil movement, soil erosion and water runoff. Retaining walls are very important in stabilizing such landscapes, keeping your home safe as well as making sloping yards safer and more valuable.
The retaining walls constructed by our team are designed and constructed according to the soil of the site of San Ramon and the terrain. Your house may be on the slope of a hill, against a rising land or require some structural support in your landscaped front, we offer a reliable wall to stand against. Whether it is new construction or professional repairs, we make sure that your retaining wall is reinforced, stabilized, and developed to add value to your premises.
Why Retaining Walls need Drainage Systems
We combine the right drainage plans in each construction of your retaining wall to make sure that it functions as anticipated. The following are what are contained in our drainage-oriented approach:
- Assessment of the flow of water and slope direction.
- Installation of weep holes or drainage piping at the back of the wall.
- Backfilling with gravel to enhance good movement of water.
- Avoidance of hydrostatic pressure that is one of the leading causes of wall failure.
- Planning to make the wall run the water off your house.
- Resolving issues of problem areas in which pooling or runoff are present.
- Stability of high seasons in rainy seasons.
When your retaining wall is drained properly, it is powerful, can withstand pressure and it lasts much longer.
How Retaining Walls Protect Your Home’s Foundation
Retaining walls are not just landscape elements, they are structural structures that ensure that your home and your yard are not subjected to the continuous pressure and erosion caused by the soil.
An engineered wall aids in stabilization of the soil surrounding your house, and decreases the chance of the soil moving or settling towards the foundation.
The retaining walls channel the rainwater, which would otherwise pool and damage the foundation of your home due to moisture.
Those that have high or sloped terrain are well suited to having retaining walls that ensure the soil does not fly away and that the exterior spaces are also structurally stable.
Designed in the right way, retaining walls can contribute to keeping your foundation intact besides enhancing the safety of your entire landscape.
Cost Factors in Construction of Retaining Wall
The construction of a retaining wall in San Ramon is based on a number of important factors- all of which determine the total cost and performance in the long run. The height and the width of the wall are significant factors, because higher walls need more reinforcement, deeper footings and more engineering. Another significant factor is the type of soil. Additional drainage systems or geogrid materials might be required in regions where the terrain or the slopes are too complex or heavy (i.e. with clay soils).
Cost and durability are also influenced by the choice of material. Each of the three, i.e., stone, concrete block and reinforced systems can provide varying degrees of strength, style and maintenance requirements. Your team is able to give you a clear and detailed explanation of what you want in your project because it knows what you need. We design solutions that fit your budget, and do not compromise on safety or performance or craftsmanship.
The Right Retaining Wall Material in Your Climate
The warm summer season, cool winters, and the frequent heavy rainfalls in San Ramon demand building materials that can accommodate expansion, contraction, and change of moisture. We assist you in the selection of stone, block and reinforced systems depending on the environment of your home, style and slopes.
Natural stone has an eternal appearance and will suit a decorative or a terraced wall. Concrete block is very tough and can be used in higher or more structural building. Strengthened systems offer higher strength where steep hillsides or when higher pressure conditions are involved. We inspect your yard, and we assist you in choosing materials that will give your retaining wall look, durability, and functionality, so that your retaining wall will not fail due to the climate in San Ramon all year round.
Verified Client Reviews
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
