About the Service
A retaining wall is a structure designed to support and retain soil at different elevations. They are commonly used to prevent erosion, manage runoff, and create usable level spaces on uneven ground. Built from concrete blocks, natural stone, timber, or poured concrete, retaining walls blend strength with design to give your property both support and style.

FAQ
How tall can a retaining wall be without engineering approval?
Most areas will allow walls up to 3 to 4 feet without a permit. If you want a taller wall, then that might require permits.
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Absolutely. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure can build up behind the wall and cause failure over time.
What is the best material for a durable retaining wall?
Concrete blocks and natural stone are among the most durable, but the best option depends on your site, style, and budget.
