FAQs What are the disadvantages of a Limestone Retaining Wall

While limestone has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages that should be considered when using it in construction or landscaping projects.

Here are some of the disadvantages of limestone:
  • Porousness: Limestone is a porous material, which means that it can absorb liquids and moisture. This can lead to staining or discolouration of the limestone, making it more susceptible to erosion or weathering.
  • Softness: While limestone is a durable material, it is relatively soft compared to other stone types, such as granite or marble. This means that it can be more easily scratched, chipped, or damaged.
  • Reactivity: Limestone is a reactive material that can be affected by exposure to acids, such as those found in some cleaning products or fertilizers. This can lead to discolouration or damage to the limestone.
  • Cost: While limestone is a relatively affordable material, it can be more expensive than other construction materials, such as concrete or timber.
  • Limited availability: While limestone is widely available in many areas, it may not be readily available in some regions, which can increase the cost of sourcing and transporting it.
  • Environmental concerns: The quarrying and processing of limestone can have environmental impacts, such as soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat destruction.

Overall, while limestone has many advantages, it is important to consider these disadvantages when deciding whether to use it in a construction or landscaping project. Proper maintenance and care can help mitigate some of these issues, but weighing the costs and benefits of using limestone in any project is important.

After having worked with you and your team, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to my colleagues and others. I have found you to be straight up and down [as I like] and always willing to help find the best solution [especially when it wasn’t the last solution]. In dealing with the public you have been reliable and have taken responsibility for ensuring any issues are resolved without the need for my involvement. Add to that quality of workmanship and a competitive price, and Creative Limestone has a compelling story to tell.

Mark from Creative Limestone has completely transformed my whole yard with a landscape package which included: - Design - Soak wells and storm water drainage - Limestone paving and edging - Limestone planter boxes and capping - Tropical plants and reticulation - Artificial Turf. Workmanship is of the highest quality and the transformation is amazing. Customer service provided was excellent and very professional, with regular updates and flexibility to accommodate minor changes. I would undoubtedly recommend Mark to any prospective clients as I am absolutely thrilled with the end result, so thank you very much to you and your team of tradesmen.

LOUISE, MADORA BAY

We purchased a difficult block that required a lot of site works and retaining, which was daunting at first. We had several contractors quote the work but found Mark from Creative Limestone to be the most friendly and professional by far. We quickly had a written quote and knew exactly what we were up for from the start. Mark would regularly contact us with updates, and once the site works started, our retaining wall was built promptly and finished perfectly. Mark helped us beyond finishing the wall with contacts for other trades and completing our site works ready to build. I have already recommended Creative Limestone to our friends and would not hesitate to call Creative Limestone if we need any work done in the future.
