"They came as scheduled and work done when I came home. Concrete patio extension well made. Only complaint was around the perimeter of the patio. It was not raked, had clumps of dirt & rocks and some cement dumped on the lawn."

"Clover lawn called me within 24 hours of the request. They communicated regularly with me, gave me a very reasonable estimate and stayed in touch. The job was completed above and beyond expectations, they even did a final mow after the leaves were removed - even though it wasn't part of the original estimate, without an additional charge. The yard, flower beds and driveway were immaculate. Will use again, they are excellent and very nice people."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.
