A Quick Fix For Saggy Rock Walls

If your block or stone landscaping wall is starting to fall apart or sag, the key to a quick fix may be reinforcing the ground and between the pavers and rocks.

Reinforcements might be needed depending on a number of factors, soil conditions, type of material being used to build the wall, and the height of the wall. The most common and best type of reinforcement for modular block retaining walls and rock retaining walls is geogrid. Geogrid is a mesh-like fabric that lays between the wall blocks and ties back into the soil which helps stabilize the soil and secure the wall. It is usually added every 2 or 3 courses. The more clay you have in your soil, which we have a lot of in Camas and around the Vancouver area will need more shaker gravel. Soils that drain like sandy ones won't need as much.
