Commercial Retaining Walls

At first glance, retaining walls seem simple, but their installation actually requires careful calculation and planning. The reason is because of the soil’s heavier weight, particularly when it has become saturated by rain. The retaining walls installed by our team are designed to withstand soil pressure that weighs tons. If you hire an inexperienced contractor, you might end up with serious problems, such as a collapse or bulge which endangers both your property and customers.

Aside from holding dirt back, retaining walls provide many other benefits, such as:

Erosion Prevention: When a landscape loses dirt, erosion occurs. This is problematic since it can lead to extensive property damage, as the erosion will wash away nutrients and fertilizer which the soil needs, which will in turn ruin plants while damaging structural foundations and creating hazardous sinkholes. When water encounters the retaining wall, it will move slower, which assists the surrounding landscape in managing runoff.

Greater Space: Commercial buildings that are situated on hilly properties may look attractive, but they also waste space. By using a tiered retaining wall system to flatten the hill, you’ll produce greater usable space that makes the landscape more functional, allowing you to add things such as patios where customers or employees can lounge.

Flooding Avoidance: Another great reason to install our retaining wall is flooding avoidance. This is because the wall will deter excessive water from gathering near the property, which minimizes the likelihood of flooding and runoff. It is much easier to maintain flat land when compared to land that is hilly.

Terracing: If your commercial establishment is located near a hillside, this landscape may be sliced into a collection of steps that can be supported by retaining walls. The process is named terracing and is designed to transform steep land in a manner that makes it useful for various purposes. It can halt erosion while making the property easier for pedestrians to access. Those who rely on wheelchairs to move about greatly enjoy the accessibility that terracing and retaining walls provide.

The services provided by Mission LLC are sought after because we greatly enhanced site drainage. This can be accomplished by directing water so that slope problems are addressed. However, we are also experienced with the many state and local regulations and will adhere to them at all times. If your commercial property is situated near one of New Jersey’s many shorelines, we can help you install a seawall that will separate the landscape from the water, and which will shield the soil from erosion. We can also assist those that want to install a docking area or harbor.
