Retaining Walls in Swords

Retaining walls in Swords and around Malahide, Portmarnock, Lusk and Rush are built on dug and concreted footings, course by course, with drainage behind so water does not build up against them.

In Swords, retaining walls are often built with raised beds, steps and a new patio in one job, so the levels of the whole garden are planned together.

How It Works

How a Retaining Wall Is Built

  1. Look at the Slope

    We check the height of the ground to be held back and agree where the wall runs.

  2. Dig the Footing

    A trench is dug along the line of the wall and filled with concrete for a solid footing.

  3. Build the Wall

    The wall is built course by course, with drainage placed behind it as it rises.

  4. Backfill & Finish

    The ground behind is backfilled and the wall is capped or rendered to suit the house.

  5. Final Check Together

    We review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

Why Does a Retaining Wall Need Drainage?

Rainwater collects in the soil behind the wall. Without drainage it adds weight and pressure, which can push a wall out of line over time.

Can You Build Raised Beds as Well?

Yes. Raised beds are often built alongside retaining walls to bring planting up to a comfortable height and frame the patio.

Do I Need a Retaining Wall?

If you want a level patio, lawn or drive on a sloping site, a retaining wall holds back the higher ground. We look at the slope at the visit and explain whether one is needed.
