Retaining Walls & Proper Drainage

The most common cause of concrete block retaining wall collapse is water. The concrete wall seen below failed because of insufficient drainage behind the wall. This wall failure was caused by a combination of the earth sloping toward the wall, no run-off stone behind the wall, and no apparent weep holes or drainage outlets.



You need to have the weep holes to allow free drainage throughout the concrete retaining walls. The weep holes need to link with a kind of filter material and the adequate space will permit uniform drainage between the walls.

Keep checking the water runoff and drainage in mind during this construction process and ensure that the water systems from your house will not be puddled and reduce the endurance of stairs. Call 811 - DigSafe to ask about the local utility before you plan to dig anything up. Then determine whether there are any underground lines and mark the exact locations to avoid it during the process.

👉What Kind of Vinegar Products

The typical vinegar you use in the kitchen is 5% vinegar, which means contains 5% acetic acid and 95% water. This type of vinegar weed killer is best used on small and annual weeds with several applications to best prevent weeds. You can also add a tablespoon of dish soap with a cup of table salt to a gallon of white vinegar to kill the top of the weed, but not its roots. Be careful with the salt build-up in the soil from your homemade mixture because it can hide something growing on it. However, white vinegar weed killers in the store cannot work well with older weeds, perennials, or grasses when you spray vinegar on them. Because the root system of these plants is so tough that requires a 20% vinegar solution. This type of vinegar weed killer is also known as horticultural vinegar pesticides.
