Sometimes no amount of decorative brickwork, timber facing or planting can prevent a retaining wall or similar structure from looking out of place and in conflict with its surroundings. Excavation in unstable slopes and poor ground can be a real problem when the maintenance of the natural beauty of parkland, landscaped gardens or in a protected green environment are major issues. 

Natural reinforced earth slopes

A real benefit for natural environments, where retaining structures would either be inappropriate or too constraining, reinforced slopes offer a landscaped alternative encouraging vegetative growth and a less imposing aspect. Within months grasses and mosses grow through the synthetic mesh facing creating a fully planted out bank which gives the impression of disappearing seamlessly into the environment.

Beauty comes at a surprising price

This type of retaining system is often surprisingly economic where there is scope and space for design and installation on site.

A reinforced slope solution with ground reinforcement can be just one part of a complete package of services we supply to major construction sites across the UK; at Geoforte you can also find specialist foundation piling, retaining walls and a range of other ground stabilisation techniques expertly applied to even the most challenging ground conditions.
