Retaining Wall Questions and Answers
What does a retaining wall contractor do?
A retaining wall contractor excavates, prepares a compacted base, builds the wall with drainage aggregate and pipe, and backfills it. They also repair or rebuild walls that are leaning or failing.
Why do retaining walls fail?
Common causes are poor drainage that lets water pressure build behind the wall, inadequate base preparation, insufficient reinforcement for the wall's height and soil movement. Proper design and drainage help prevent failure.
How do I choose a retaining wall contractor?
Ask how they handle drainage and base preparation, and whether the wall height requires engineering or a permit where you live. Compare materials, warranties and examples of similar walls.
What affects the cost of a retaining wall?
Cost depends on wall height and length, material, soil conditions, drainage, reinforcement, engineering, access for equipment and removal of an existing wall.
How should I prepare for retaining wall construction?
Mark property lines and utilities, and clear the area of plants and items you want to keep. Plan equipment access and where excavated soil will go.
