Our Retaining Wall Construction Process

Drainage is the part most walls skip. We don't build a wall without it.

  • Height and drainage planning — grading and water flow assessed before design.
  • Base excavation — trenched and compacted below grade for a stable footing.
  • Gravel backfill — installed behind the wall to relieve water pressure.
  • Cap installation — finished top course set for a clean, level look.

Retaining Wall FAQs

How much do retaining walls cost per linear foot?
Cost depends on wall height, material, and site access. We provide an exact per-linear-foot quote after assessing the slope and grading.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Many local jurisdictions require a permit and engineering review for walls above a certain height, typically around four feet. We'll let you know what applies to your project.
How tall can a retaining wall be without an engineer?
This varies by local code, but walls under about four feet generally don't require engineered plans. Taller walls need an engineer's stamp before permitting.
What materials do you use for retaining walls?
We build with segmental concrete block, natural boulders, or a mix depending on the look you want and the wall's structural needs.
How long do retaining walls last?
A properly built wall with good drainage can easily last decades. Most failures happen early, from water pressure behind a wall without adequate drainage.
