"I had Nichols Concrete come out to do some concrete work, and I couldn?t be more pleased with the results! From start to finish, they were professional, dependable, and did quality work. They showed up when they said they would, communicated with me throughout the process, and made sure everything was done the right way. The finished product looks great, and you can tell they take pride in their work. If you?re looking for a concrete company that does quality work and treats their customers right, I highly recommend Nichols Concrete. I wouldn?t hesitate to use them again for any future projects!"

"Paint by Liz is AMAZING!!! Liz and her assistant were professional, timely, and thorough when they came to my house and replaced a door and a separate door hinge. Not only was the work high quality, but she and her assistant were extremely pleasant to have in the home. I would HIGHLY recommend her services and will be calling her next time we need something done. Thank you so much Liz!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.
