FAQ

Frequestly Asked
Questions

Armour stone is a natural, large, and heavy quarry rock known for its durability and strength. It’s commonly used for retaining walls due to its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions and resist erosion, providing both structural stability and aesthetic appeal to landscapes.

The installation timeline varies based on factors such as the wall’s size, site accessibility, and soil conditions. After assessing your specific project requirements, we can provide a more accurate timeframe.

Ensuring stability involves proper site assessment, excavation, and the use of appropriate base materials. We start by digging a trench for the foundation, laying a gravel base, and carefully stacking the stones with a slight backward incline. Additionally, implementing proper drainage solutions behind the wall helps prevent water pressure buildup, further enhancing stability.

Armour stone retaining walls are low-maintenance due to the durability of the natural stone. However, it’s advisable to periodically inspect the wall for any signs of shifting or settling, especially after extreme weather conditions. Ensuring that drainage systems remain unblocked will also help maintain the wall’s integrity over time.
