Retaining Walls FAQs
If you have sloped terrain that’s eroding, a grade change between two areas of your property, or soil that’s shifting toward a structure or driveway, a retaining wall is likely the right solution. We assess the site during consultation and will tell you honestly whether a wall is necessary or if there’s a simpler fix.
We work with segmental retaining wall block, natural stone, and boulder walls depending on the application, aesthetic preference, and budget. Each material has different load-bearing characteristics and we’ll recommend the right one for your specific situation.
Most residential retaining wall projects take 2-4 days. Larger walls or those requiring significant excavation and drainage work may take longer. We’ll give you a firm timeline during the quoting process.
Yes, proper drainage is critical. Without it, hydrostatic pressure builds up behind the wall and will cause it to fail over time. We install appropriate drainage as part of every retaining wall project — it’s not optional.
There’s typically some disruption in the work zone during installation. We take care to minimize impact on surrounding areas and restore any disturbed landscaping as part of project closeout.
A properly designed and installed retaining wall with adequate drainage should last 20-30 years or more. The biggest factors in longevity are base preparation, drainage, and using the right material for the load it needs to handle.
