When adding a retaining wall to your home’s landscape, choosing a high-quality material is critical to ensure it remains durable and functional throughout the years. At Beaver Valley Lawn Service, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest-quality materials, so we use Techo-Bloc and Unilock products for our retaining walls.
To better understand why we utilize products from these brands, we’ve compiled a guide to help you learn what sets these products apart from the competition.
Before we dive into why Techo-Bloc and Unilock are at the top of the competition for retaining walls, it’s essential to understand why quality matters so much when choosing pavers for your retaining wall.
Low-quality blocks can cause various issues with your retaining wall, including:
Your retaining wall is critical in holding back soil, preventing erosion, and more. Without quality blocks, you risk the wall collapsing or buckling, leading to expensive cleanup and repairs. Protecting your investment in a retaining wall is crucial by choosing high-quality blocks and expert installers.
Techo-Bloc is known for its durable retaining wall materials, available in various colors, textures, and shapes to match your home’s aesthetic. One great benefit of their blocks is that they are engineered to handle the freeze-and-thaw cycle typical in the Pittsburgh winter.
These blocks remain even, adaptable, and stable, creating a reliable and stunning addition to your landscape.
Unilock’s paver options are manufactured to exceed ASTM standards for strength and quality. ASTM standards set specifications for dimensional tolerances, freeze-thaw durability, and compressive strength.
The pavers are available in various styles, from the classic pavers, offering durability and great color selection, to their Elegance line that offers deep color and interesting textures for a stunning addition to your landscape.
While it can be tempting to install your own retaining wall, there are several benefits to working with the professionals at Beaver Valley Lawn Service:
With over 40 years of experience in the industry, we have built a wide range of retaining walls under various circumstances and conditions. This valuable knowledge will provide a retaining wall you can enjoy for many years.
Your property will need grading and drainage work to ensure your landscape thrives and your retaining wall functions well. This requires special equipment you need to rent or buy and unique skills and knowledge to ensure it is done correctly.
When drainage and grading are done incorrectly, your plants, bushes, trees, and shrubs won’t be able to thrive, risking the need for your retaining wall and grading to be redone.
While it is cheaper to do many household jobs yourself, installing a retaining wall is not one of them. It is a time-consuming process, and if something is done poorly, it can result in wasted time and the need for professional repairs.
When you work with us, you can get affordable supplies and a 2-year workmanship warranty, which gives you confidence in the durability of our craftsmanship.
When paired with our expert retaining wall installation services, you can rest assured your Techo-Bloc or Unilock retaining wall will look and function great for years to come! Contact us today to learn more!
