Q: When does a slope need a retaining wall?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to build a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don&rsquo;t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garden-styles-your-backyard.htm">chosen garden style</a>, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they&rsquo;re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. </p></div>

Q: How long do flood walls last?

• <div><p>The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.</p></div>
