Can you use cinder blocks for a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-cinder-block-wall.htm">cinder block retaining wall costs</a> between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.</p></div>

What is the best material to fill behind a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.</p></div>

Overall, the job went very well. They were punctual and professional with their work. WE are very pleased with the patio and would recommend them. The owner. Randy, could be better organized, but this was not an issue with the job.

"I talked to the agent and shared my concerns about the electrician service recommended by the contact center. I told them I paid $392 for an inspection that felt excessive, and I declined a $900 quote to replace all the outlets in one room. I explained that the issue was resolved, but I was unhappy about the lack of upfront estimates and the high costs. I requested that future estimates be sent to me by text before any service. The agent said they would document my feedback and suggested I leave a review for the company."
