"Chad and his team scheduled and completed the job timely. Good grading of the slab extension and attention to the quality of the install! He made good recommendations on diverting water away from the slab. The team made sure to clean up afterwards. Competitive quote for the work."

"I needed a retaining wall built on my ravine. I contacted Ken Mathis at Creative Dreamscapes Plus to build it. He also agreed to pressure wash my house, porches and stain a new deck. He also also painted my porches. He listed a fair price. In the meantime I decided to have my house inspected to make sure everything was okay. The home inspector gave me a booklet of all the issues that needed attention. I was apprehensive about hiring different workers to do the various jobs since I have been overcharged a number of times in the past 2 years. I am a 81 year old woman. I asked Ken if he would be able to repair everything on the list. He said yes and I was so relieved and appreciative. Ken Mathis employees Robert and Grady and their crew did outstanding work. I couldnt have been more pleased. They were competent, professional , punctual and polite."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

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.
