Outdoor Makeover and Living Spaces, a specialty retaining wall contractor based in Atlanta, serves within and surrounding areas. Since 2001, we have provided practical answers to complicated engineering problems. We recognize that the success of most of our country’s infrastructure depends on careful planning, firm foundations, and constant innovation, all of which we strive for on an ongoing basis. We have installed millions of square feet of walls and pavers. We have vast experience with nearly all types of engineered wall installation and paver systems.
Our team of in-house engineers, executives, estimators, project managers, office and field staff, significant resources, unmatched buying power, and state-of-the-art equipment, truly separate us from our competition.
BENEFITS OF ENGINEERED WALLS
Strength and Stability
Engineered walls are designed to withstand various loads and forces, providing superior strength and stability compared to conventional walls. This can be especially important in areas prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters.
Customization
These walls can be customized to meet specific design requirements, including size, shape, and load-bearing capacity. This flexibility allows architects and builders to create unique structures that meet the needs of their projects.
Energy Efficiency
Many engineered walls are designed with insulation materials that enhance energy efficiency by minimizing heat transfer. This can result in lower heating and cooling costs for buildings and reduced environmental impact.
Speed of Construction
Engineered walls are often prefabricated off-site, which can significantly reduce construction time and labor costs. The precise manufacturing process also ensures consistent quality and accuracy, leading to faster installation on-site.
Durability
Engineered walls are typically constructed using high-quality materials that are resistant to damage from moisture, pests, & other environmental factors. This durability can prolong the lifespan of buildings and reduce the need for maintenance and repairs over time.
Sustainability
Many engineered wall systems incorporate sustainable materials and construction practices, such as recycled content, renewable resources, and minimal waste generation. This can contribute to green building certifications and help reduce the overall environmental impact of construction projects.
Design Flexibility
Engineered walls offer architects and designers a wide range of aesthetic options, allowing for innovative and visually appealing building designs. This versatility enables creative expression while still meeting structural and performance requirements.
Cost-Effectiveness
While initial costs may be higher than traditional construction methods, the long-term benefits of engineered walls, such as reduced maintenance and energy savings, can result in overall cost savings over the life of the building.

TYPES OF ENGINEERED WALLS
Modular Block Wall
Modular block walls are mostly made of geosynthetic cementitious composite mats (GCCMs), which encapsulate designed grout between layers of geotextile and cure when saturated to form a fiber-reinforced concrete shell for erosion prevention. Modular block wall building is the foundation of our business operations.
Mortared Limestone
Lime mortar is made from limestone, predominantly composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is burnt in a kiln at temperatures above 700°C (calcination process) and slaked with water to produce lime, which is then mixed with sand to make mortar.
MSE Walls
A mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall is a composite structure consisting of alternating layers of compacted backfill and soil reinforcing elements attached to a wall facing. It gives more weight to large errors and is sensitive to outliers. MSE is useful when the goal is to minimize the overall error in the model
Redi Rock
Redi-Rock is an established, precast modular block retaining wall technology designed by engineers for engineers. It employs enormous one-ton blocks constructed of 4,000 PSI (27.6 MPa) concrete. These walls withstand freeze-thaw cycles, marine environments, and record-breaking storms.
Small Segmental Block
A Versatile, cost-effective blocks with distinct faces are available in various sizes and colors to offer a flowing complement to any application. These blocks interlock with one another and with the lateral restraint members.
Precast Concrete Walls
These walls are built off-site in a controlled environment and then delivered to the construction site for installation. They are strong and durable and may be shaped and sized to fit specific needs.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
These panels comprise two panels of oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood, with an insulation layer sandwiched between them. They are popular in both residential and commercial structures due to their great thermal performance and structural stability.
Steel Framing Systems
A steel framing system uses steel studs and tracks to build wall assemblies. These systems are light, strong, and resistant to dampness and pests. Steel framing is widely employed in commercial buildings and high-rise construction projects.
Timber Frame Construction
A structural frame is built utilizing hardwood beams, columns, and braces. These frames are usually filled with insulation and covered in sheathing materials. Timber frame walls have a natural appearance and can be designed to withstand big spans and loads.
