There is no doubt that a beautiful garden is something delightful to the eye, and a starting point for many conversations. It is an aesthetically pleasing experience to spend time in the beauty of nature, and the tranquillity it provides.
Yet, as much as one appreciates a beautifully turned-out garden, it sometimes presents a real financial and engineering challenge to be creative in an area where the landscape has uneven levels, and awkward angles. For example, a basic 1.8m high retaining wall requires planning and professional engineering to remain in place and keep its shape. Soil alone is heavy, but even more so after a good rainfall. Potentially then, the wall may have to support 20 tons of soil pressure. As such, a slight miscalculation when planning the construction of a wall could result in disaster.
But fear not dear DIY fan! This is where TFSD can help you. Our DIY-friendly retaining walls using our Terraforce retaining blocks will be the answer to your tricky landscaping issues, such as combatting soil erosion, terracing steep slopes, and creating appealing focal points and usable outdoor areas in your garden. How? Because our shorter retaining walls can be constructed without the input of an engineer. A DIY enthusiast can execute the planning and construction of their own retaining wall!
