Retaining Walls – FAQs
What is a retaining wall?
A retaining wall is a structure designed to hold back soil and resist lateral pressure on slopes, terraces, or uneven terrain.
How much does a retaining wall cost per square foot?
A typical cost is $40 to $120 per square foot depending on wall height, material, design complexity, drainage needs, and soil conditions.
Which material is best for a retaining wall?
- Concrete block gives modular ease and mid-range cost
- Natural stone offers high-end beauty and durability
- Reinforced poured concrete is strong for tall or heavy-load walls
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Without drainage (weep holes, perforated pipe, gravel backfill), hydrostatic pressure builds behind the wall and can cause failure.
How long do retaining walls last?
A well-designed and built retaining wall can last 20 to 50+ years, especially with proper drainage, maintenance, and materials.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Permit requirements vary by location, but most municipalities regulate retaining walls above certain heights (often 3–4 feet). Always check local building codes.
What are the signs my retaining wall needs repair?
Look for cracking, bulging, leaning, or drainage issues. Our repair team can reinforce or rebuild damaged structures safely.
