Retaining walls and Hardscapes in Central Florida are typically made from stone or brick because they compliment the surrounding landscape and have an upscale look. A retaining wall is traditionally used to correct a natural slope and prevent erosion of the grounds. This allows a business or homeowner to utilize the property. The retaining wall needs to be able to resist the elements, have superior strength and endurance.
Precast Concrete is the Best Material That Fits the Bill
Strength: Precast concrete is remarkably strong. When you need a material to hold back tons of dirt and soil, strength is vital.
Durability: The best thing, concrete continues to cure in place, which means it increases in strength and will last for decades.
Resistance: Rot proof, rust proof, fire proof, even insect proof, and they don’t warp or fade in the hot Florida sun and harsh environment, what more could you want in a retaining wall or hardscape?
Easy Installation: Because precast concrete is manufactured in a climate controlled facility, they are fast and easy to install, without the need for big equipment. Less labor means less cost to you.
Looks Amazing: If you think precast concrete looks gray and boring, think again! Today’s precast concrete comes in beautiful designs and colors. Many mimics the beautiful look of natural stone. Because the design is on both sides and on the columns, many people can’t even tell the difference.
Eco-Friendliness: Precast concrete is made from natural materials, they don’t give off any toxins, dangerous chemicals or off gas allergens.
Low Maintenance: Precast concrete requires little to no maintenance. Maybe a simple cleaning once a year, depending on the environment. This means you won’t have to spend time painting or repairing the wall.
Affordability: Precast concrete has a great cost benefit ratio, especially compared to other Hardscape or retaining wall materials.
