Atlanta Residential Retaining Wall Built With Redi-Rock Commercial Wall Blocks

Building Retaining Walls That Last a Lifetime

Yashiv Construction dba McCullough landscaping is designing and building some of the finest  retaining walls in Atlanta and N. Georgia.

We recently used commercial Redi-Rock blocks to build a residential wall project in Atlanta.

Gravity Walls Save Valuable Space For Your Backyard Makeover

Because the incredible weight of these Redi-Rock commercial blocks, we conserved valuable sq. footage in this backyard for our customer by not having to use any geo-grid anchor system. Because this retaining wall was over 25 feet tall, we would have been required to remove dirt ½ the distance behind the wall as the height of wall. That would have required us to install geo-grid behind the wall about 15 feet. This would’ve been a non-starter on this project because this residential retention wall is right on the property line. Which left us very few options.

Well, because code allowed us to build 13 courses high with the Redi-Rock blocks… we were able to provide this homeowner with a creative solution, which also became the focal point of their backyard renovation.

As shown in the video below, these blocks are really heavy, requiring the use of big machines. This loader was setting blocks that weighed 3290 lbs. and 2439 lbs.

Our highly trained crews have done several major roadside construction projects for the Georgia Dept. of Transportation. So we are well trained to take on such a task. But we also do many smaller residential walls designed and constructed with concrete modular retaining wall blocks.

Time For New Concrete Modular Block Retaining Wall?

If you have an old, rotted railroad tie wall that’s falling down from age and wood deterioration, then it’s time for a new modular block landscape wall, or even a Redi-Rock wall like the one in the video.

Marietta GA Retaining Wall Company – McCullough Landscaping

McCullough Landscaping is proud to announce our new location in Marietta GA. This office is primarily an engineering and design office where our certified landscape architects will design the majority of our retaining wall plans. This is where we design our walls that are Built to last a lifetime.

Failing Cross Tie Walls Are a Liability to Homeowners In Marietta

We have found that many homes in this area are at the age where the original retention walls installed by the home builder are in need of replacement. Most of these landscape walls were originally built using either cross tie material, which are soaked in environmentally unfriendly creosote, or they were constructed using 6 x 6 pressure treated landscape timbers. Both materials have a limited life span and begin failing after reaching the 20 – 25 year mark. That is if they were constructed with proper design features which include proper drainage to prevent
hydro-static pressure build up. Typically these type walls will begin failing before 20 years if they weren’t designed and installed properly. That seems to be the case with most of the walls we have been replacing in the Marietta – Cobb County area.

Modular Retaining Wall Blocks are the way to go

We recommend using engineered modular retaining wall blocks on any newly installed hardscape structures. Not only do they come with a lifetime warranty, they are absolutely gorgeous and add a touch of class and elegance to areas that previously were ugly and detracted from the aesthetics of the property, not to mention had become dangerous and a liability for the  homeowner.

Modular Block Retaining Wall Costs

Most homeowners think they can save a lot of money by using wood timbers on their new retaining wall. But that’s not completely true. In the long run, over time it’s less expensive to use modular blocks. Surprisingly the material costs to use modular block instead of wood timbers is only about 10% – 15% higher. Then when you factor in that you get a lifetime warranty with modular block, it actually is cheaper over time to use block. Also in our opinion there is
no comparison when considering the looks of the modular block compared to a wood wall. So over time… it just makes sense to have McCullough Landscaping build a wall that lasts a lifetime.

Natural stone is also a long lasting landscape wall solution

Now recently we have designed and installed several natural stone and boulder walls. These type walls give a more natural feel to a property and when used in the right situation can be a very attractive and long lasting solution. Our designers will let you know if we think you have the right setting for a natural stone retaining wall. It pretty much goes without saying that these style retaining walls will last a lifetime. However it is very important that the foundation is designed property to prevent sinking and failing over time.

McCullough Landscaping works closely with one of the leaders in the commercial retaining wall block industry, Redi-Rock. We specialize in designing commercial retention walls. Our crews are experienced in installing commercial retention walls and have done so for several private commercial properties as well as different municipalities in the Metro Atlanta Area.
