You should consider installing retaining walls for erosion prevention. They are also used for the beautification of an area. See similar questions...

When cured, the concrete in AMVIC walls is 50% stronger and use 30% less concrete than traditionally poured walls. While the cost of a bare block or poured wall is less, AMVIC provides insulation and furring strips, and is ready to finish, making it a cost effective and less labor-intensive choice. AMVIC also is far less labor intensive to use where there are frequent openings and/or popouts as are frequently the case in residential construction. See similar questions...

A permit is not required, however all retaining walls must be no higher than 6 feet and must be a minimum of 3 feet from the property line. Walls that are designed as a fence or barrier require a permit. See similar questions...

All EP Henry Retaining Wall products can be used to build steps. The wall units are used for the riser and the caps for the treads (Bullnose Pavers can also be used for treads). Make sure you pay attention to local codes that dictate the minimum step height, tread depth and hand rail requirements. See similar questions...

StreetPrint? can be installed very quickly with relatively little disruption, so it is usually much less costly and disruptive than concrete alternatives. StreetPrint? uses asphalt as its base. Asphalt is a flexible surface that is more likely to accept shifting due to weather extremes and can resist cracking commonly associated with other paving systems. Vehicle braking/accelerating and steering will not shift or break StreetPrint?, as often happens with brick pavers. See similar questions...

Concrete is an inexpensive and durable option, but it will crack. Pavers are more expensive but last longer, provide more of an interest from a design perspective, and are easily repaired if earth shifting occurs. Stone creates a beautiful and natural look but is the most expensive option. Many stone applications can be sandset, which is flexible to ground shifting. Occasionally stone requires a mortar setting, which is less tolerant of ground shifting. See similar questions...

In Europe, they have seen pavers last over 50 years. This is much longer than other pavements under normal residential use. See similar questions...

There is no way that we can prevent oil from dripping on concrete pavers. Yet, because pavers are more dense than regular poured concrete, they will be easier to clean if the stain is cleaned soon after it happens. If you are working around your paver patio, walkway, or driveway with paint, cement, or mortar and should accidentally spill this on your paver surface, you should clean it off right away before it has a chance to dry. Otherwise, it will stain your pavers. See similar questions...

The joints between pavers eliminate cracking that is normal to conventional asphalt and concrete pavements. Yes, if necessary. That is an item we will discuss with you when we come out to give you an estimate. See similar questions...

You will never see a crack running through a paver patio or across a paver walk, and of course pavers offer more design diversity. Back to top See similar questions...

Concrete pavers offer more design options (more colors and sizes), whereas clay pavers offer less maintenance. The cost is about the same. Concrete pavers tend to lay a bit snugger, making tighter joints and a more consistently flat surface. Clay pavers however hold their color much the use of chemical sealers. Although the concrete is died straight through the paver, the die still has a tendency to wash off the top over time. See similar questions...

Sealing is not essential in many applications but it offers some benefits like making spills and stains easier to remove. Liquid sealers are applied after the pavers are installed and are cleaned. Once applied, the sealers soak into the concrete and into the joints. The sealers in the joints help keep the joint sand in place and prevent weeds and ants, and sealers are essential for areas around swimming pools. See similar questions...

For non-vehicular applications such as embankment stabilization, the maximum slope is determined by the angle of repose of the bedding sand, typically around 35 to 38 degrees. For vehicular traffic, the highest slope in use is 18% (about 10 degrees) in a street in Colma, California. Special consideration is given to the drainage of the bedding sand at the bottom of the slope. See similar questions...

The white powder is efflorescence, a deposit that may sometimes appear on the surface of the paving stones. Sometimes this appears immediately or a few months after installation. Normal use and exposure to the weather will dissipate the efflorescence, as will normal wear. Efflorescence is a normal occurrence in all cement-based products. As it is a natural reaction to the proper hydration of concrete, we do not consider it a defect and do not replace any materials affected. See similar questions...

Either can be done well. With block we generally recommend an insulation level of R-5 or more. Usually it is installed adjacent to the block and then a 3/4 inch air space is furred out on the inside. Make sure that the top of this airspace is blocked off from the attic. With frame walls the concern is good insulation installation and reducing air infiltration. Seal gaps, make sure insulation is cut correctly (too long and it tends to bend, too short and it misses spots). See similar questions...

Model a fixed height barrier representing your retaining wall (no perturbations), then put a terrain line a few meters (1.52 m - 3.05 m [5-10 ft.] should work fine) behind it at an appropriate elevation. Also, if you view a cut section, you can see the terrain line starts at the barrier's bottom elevation(s), and sharply go up to the location of the elevation input for the terrain line.

That depends on the application, but you can be sure there is a tool for every retaining ring we sell. No need to use fingers, hammers, screwdrivers or other tools that may damage the ring and cause it to fail. We support our retaining rings with a complete line of manual and pneumatic tools. We’ll even help you design your own equipment for high volume assembly. See similar questions...
