Patio Retaining Walls in Lake Norman NC

Paver Patio Retaining Walls for Lake Norman Properties

  • Lake Norman clay holds water behind walls, so backfill drainage is not optional here.
  • Lakefront elevation changes frequently call for two low walls instead of one tall one.
  • Freeze-thaw cycles push poorly drained walls out of plumb within a few seasons.
