Plan for the place

Retaining wall planning in South Daytona.

In South Daytona, a retaining wall should be described according to what it is designed to hold. Supporting a garden level change is a different purpose from keeping rising floodwater away from a building. DMM Landscapes can discuss landscape retaining concepts based on measured grades, loading and drainage. If water protection is the main concern, seek the appropriate assessment before selecting a wall. The landscape proposal should identify its footprint, the ground above and below it, and any necessary design or approval work.

Three details to work through

  1. State whether the wall retains soil for a terrace or is intended to address water, so the required expertise and design purpose are clear before estimating.
  2. Show nearby structures, vehicle areas and planned paving on the concept, as those loads can affect the evaluation of the retained ground.
  3. Discuss how water behind the wall and surface runoff around its ends will be handled without shifting an unresolved problem toward a neighboring area.

A useful question

Can a retaining wall double as a floodwall?

Do not rely on that assumption. A structure intended to resist floodwater needs evaluation for that purpose and its site conditions. An ordinary landscape retaining-wall scope may not address those demands. Describe the primary concern first, then obtain the appropriate design and review before deciding whether a wall belongs in the project.
