Retaining Wall Installation in Asheville
Most yards or outdoor space in Asheville feature some type of slope - and sometimes it's steep! It's important to make sure your property is properly secured from soil erosion and the landslides that sometimes happen in our region. You achieve this by building retaining walls.
The team at Smoky Park Hardscapes will ensure your property is properly graded and leveled to avoid flooding and create effective rainwater drainage. And beyond that we will design and construct a retaining wall to aid this process while also adding to the aesthetic of your landscaped yard.
We work with our customers to learn their specifications such as the height of the wall and the types of retaining wall blocks that are preferred. As a bonus, we can also help landscape retaining walls!
Our goal is to complete your project on time, on budget, and with quality that exceeds your expectations.

Why Consider a Retaining Wall?
We build walls designed to retain or keep soil in a slope or place it wouldn’t naturally stay. These rigid walls are often used in hillside farming and roadway overpasses, but they can also provide critical functions in maintaining your own yard.
A wall's most important purpose is to save your yard from soil erosion and manage the flow of rainwater. They're not only functional, they can also provide you the chance to add stonework and hardscaping to your yard.
Types of Retaining Walls
Whether made of natural stone, treated timbers, or concrete blocks, there are four basic types of walls you can install in your yard. Each has a different style and purpose, and we can help you decide the best type for your space.

Anchored Retaining Wall:
These walls are supported by anchors that are driven into the earth and attached by strips or cables. They are generally used for walls that are structurally thinner or in places where you expect higher loads.
Sheet Piling Retaining Wall:
If space is an issue, a sheet piling wall is used. This wall is made up of a thin wall of vinyl, wood, or steel driven directly into the soil. Best for use in softer soils, the sheet piling wall often includes additional reinforcement in the form of a vertically corrugated structure.
Cantilevered Retaining Wall:
This type is reinforced with steel bars running through the concrete or masonry. Cantilevered retaining walls are common in commercial uses where lots of strength is necessary.
