"They got back to me right away. So happy with the price, I had them do more projects. Things that I thought we would have to wait on, their price was so good, we had them go ahead and do it. They leveled my back yard and tore down a rubble wall and put up a beautiful wall. Makes by backyard seem even bigger. And did my side yard too. Now I have a beautiful level yard. Even my neighbors are envious. They even did more than they said they would do. I have already called them for my next project."

"These guys remind me of the Old Days when I worked for All-Work construction. We lived by our word and our quality of work. Yep, these guys are the real deal they gave us a very competitive quote and lived by that quote. They take pride in their work and have great work ethics IE they show up when they say they are going to show up and do what they said they would do. Thank you for all you did. To name a few they, finished the hardwood floor, (other contractor bagged on us), completed all the finishing work and drywall repair/ replacement. Painted the interior and repaired the roof over the Florida room. And completed all the landscaping work."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, 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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs 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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.
