Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about retaining walls

How tall can a retaining wall be?
Retaining walls can be built to various heights. Walls under 4 feet typically don’t require engineering permits, while taller walls need proper engineering and may require permits. We handle all heights with appropriate engineering and construction methods.
We work with segmental concrete blocks, natural stone, poured concrete, timber, and boulder walls. Each material has different aesthetic and structural properties. We’ll recommend the best option based on your needs, budget, and design preferences.
Most residential retaining walls can be completed in 2-5 days, depending on size, height, and complexity. Larger or multi-tiered projects may take 1-2 weeks. We’ll provide a specific timeline with your estimate.
Yes! Proper drainage is critical for retaining wall longevity. We install perforated drain pipes, gravel backfill, and weep holes to prevent water buildup behind the wall, which is the leading cause of wall failure.
With proper design, drainage, and construction, retaining walls can last 50-100+ years. Segmental block and natural stone walls are particularly long-lasting. We build every wall to exceed industry standards for durability.
