Retaining Wall FAQs
How tall can a retaining wall be?
Residential walls up to 4 feet typically don't require engineering. Taller walls need professional engineering and permits. We can build walls of any height with proper design and permitting.
What material is best for retaining walls?
It depends on height, aesthetics, and budget. For walls under 3 feet, timber or decorative block works well. For taller walls, engineered block or poured concrete provides the strength needed. We'll recommend the best option for your specific situation.
How long do retaining walls last?
A properly constructed retaining wall can last 50-100 years. Concrete and stone walls last longest, while timber walls typically last 15-20 years. Proper drainage is the key to longevity.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Absolutely! Water pressure is the #1 cause of wall failure. Every wall we build includes proper drainage systems—gravel backfill, filter fabric, and weep holes or drain pipes.
How much does a retaining wall cost?
Costs vary based on wall height, length, materials, and site conditions. Basic timber walls start around $15-25 per square foot, while engineered block or stone walls run $25-50+ per square foot. We provide free, detailed estimates.
