Retaining Wall questions, answered

How tall can a retaining wall be?

We build walls from 2 feet (garden walls) up to 12+ feet (engineered terraces). Walls over 4 feet require an engineer's stamp and permit.

What's the most important part of a retaining wall?

What you can't see — drainage. A wall without proper perforated drain tile, crushed-stone backfill, and geotextile separator will fail within 5–10 years no matter how good the face stone looks.

Can you build into a slope or only against existing soil?

Both. We can cut into a hillside for a benched terrace or build a freestanding wall to create a level yard above grade. Each requires different drainage and structural approach.
