- Does the soil type I have behind my wall matter? - Yes. The amount of pressure (heave) on your wall is dependant upon many factors and soil type is one of them. The depth of the vertical elements in your wall are also very dependant upon soil type. Clay soils hold the vertical elements well but create a larger heave pressure, whilst sandy soils develop a lower heave (pressure) on the wall but the vertical elements need to be held in more concrete than in clay based soils. We always recommend getting advice for all retaining wall construction.
