Retaining walls create usable space, control soil movement, and protect properties from erosion and slope failure. When built correctly, retaining walls provide long-term structural stability while enhancing the look and functionality of your landscape.

Bana Landscaping provides professional retaining wall installation services throughout Kankakee County, building durable, properly engineered walls designed to perform in Illinois’ challenging soil and weather conditions.

Why Retaining Walls Matter in Kankakee County

Many properties in Kankakee County face:

• Sloped or uneven terrain
• Soil erosion after heavy rain
• Limited usable yard space
• Failing or leaning existing walls

Illinois’ clay-heavy soils and freeze–thaw cycles place significant pressure on retaining structures. Professional design and installation are critical to prevent movement, cracking, and collapse.

Our Retaining Wall Services

Complete Retaining Wall Design & Construction

We design and build retaining walls that:

• Stabilize slopes and elevation changes
• Prevent soil erosion and washouts
• Expand usable outdoor space
• Improve drainage and water control

Each wall is engineered based on site conditions, wall height, and soil pressure requirements.

Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

Site Evaluation & Planning

Every project begins with a detailed assessment of:

• Soil type and slope conditions
• Drainage and water flow
• Required wall height and layout
• Load and pressure considerations

This ensures the wall is designed correctly from the start.

Base Preparation & Foundation Work

A properly constructed base is critical. We excavate and prepare foundations to the correct depth, accounting for frost levels and long-term stability.

Reinforcement & Structural Support

When required, we install geogrid reinforcement and proper backfill materials to:

• Distribute soil pressure
• Prevent wall movement
• Increase structural lifespan

Drainage systems are integrated behind the wall to relieve water pressure.

Wall Construction & Finishing

Blocks or materials are installed with precise alignment and leveling. Caps and finishing details are added to complete the structure and enhance appearance.
