"I had this company come out and replace a large retaining wall and install a concrete pad for a shed. From start to finish they were very professional and easy to work with. The communication was great throughout the whole process and the work turned out awesome! I highly recommend this company for future projects! Thank you TSG!"

"I couldn’t get the big fencing companies to call me back. This company responded immediately. We ran into a few unforeseen obstacles but they powered through to make sure the job was done right and to my satisfaction. Even asking permission to arrive at 6 AM on a Sunday morning to finish up so they could be home in time to make it to church and spend the afternoon with their families. Not only that, they saw me struggling with a project I was working on and jumped in to help. Then they quickly resolved another issue with a commercial fence joining my yard that was preventing my back gate from closing. They exceeded my expectations and were good company as well. I would highly recommend them not only for their skill but their attitude and values."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.
