Our Retaining Wall Construction Company FAQ

How do you build a retaining wall?

If it’s going to last, a retaining wall must have several key elements each installed with care.

• A solid foundation of well-compacted angular gravel several inches thick
• Bricks (or other building material) constructed on level and at a suitable angle to maximize load bearing ability
• Gravel backfill behind the wall
• Especially if it is a high wall, a drainage system will need to be installed behind the wall to avoid water pressure buildup

Do I need a structural engineer for a retaining wall?

Whether you need one legally or not will depend entirely on your city codes. Factors influencing the kind of planning you need for a retaining wall include the height of the wall and if it will be required to support any significant structure. If you are looking to build a retaining wall and we suspect permits or an engineer’s approval will be required, we will be sure to let you know and give whatever guidance we can through that process.

How do you know when you need a retaining wall?

You need a retaining wall when you are concerned about the ground at a certain spot eroding and affecting your property or buildings in a negative way. Over time, even ground that has been planted on can slide, undermining structures – even when the slope doesn’t seem too severe. Another instance where a retaining wall is required is to protect what is downhill such as a driveway from being slowly overtaken by the slope.

Much of the time, retaining walls are installed not because they are needed but because they are wanted to created more usable space or to produce a terraced effect for plantings.

How long do retaining walls last?

A retaining wall which has been properly installed can last for a lifetime – that is, it should not need replacement during the time you are in the house. This may depend upon the material you use.
