"Almost two years ago, I hired a company to install a large retaining wall built with 6 x 6 wooden beams. This was a mistake. The wall did not drain properly and started to separate. This wall failure put my house at risk of sliding down a steep slope. I contacted Art Miller at Engineered Retaining Walls, LLC, and he immediately had a crew out to my property to brace up my house and prevent it from sliding down the slope while he removed the wooden retaining wall and replaced it with a Redi-Rock retaining wall to protect my home. The work is excellent, and so are the people at Engineered Retaining Walls. I highly recommend this company."

"First of all, I used Patrick and his crew last Fall to fill in an outdated koi pond.  They did an excellent job so knew at that time I would continue working with them.  They always call ahead, always on time and an extremely efficient and friendly group to work with.  

They removed the old out-dated shrubbery along the entire front length of my home.  Removing the roots after cutting down.  This left a clean slate in which they planted 14 appropriate size bushes which will do well in the full southern exposure.  No clipping involved as they get larger which I had to do with the older bushes. They also planted close to 100 liriope plants.  3" of mulch was added to cover this area.  My brick walk had many sunken bricks and a rusted metal paver was raised out of the ground which was suppose to hold the bricks in the walkway from sliding around.  Patrick and his crew removed the metal strip, installed the correct plastic locking pavers and redid most of the bricks which are now even and safe. It looks beautiful and neighbors have added their approval.  Completely different picture compared to what I had to deal with before.  He knows his stuff!!!

Will continue working with this group.  Tops on my list and I have had many contractors to know."

"Zack, the owner, and his crews are incredible! I have a very steep driveway and hillside at the front of my WNC mountain home. They repaired a badly damaged wood retaining wall then properly excavated, provided drainage, backfilled and secured new posts with deadman anchoring. This is my third project using ZR Landscaping. They are always on time, professional, courteous, hard working, reliable and provide a great project outcome at a fair price. I highly recommend ZR Landscaping!"

"NC Top Landscaping has done an excellent weed eating job of our property. Jose and Juan arrive on time and have a great work ethic. Our property includes creek banks that are somewhat steep, a section that is wet as well as outbuildings. We are very pleased with their work. The DeBruhls"

"WNC Stone Works provided exceptional workmanship and customer service for a small landscaping project. James, the landscaper, assessed the area and suggested perennials that will thrive there. The promptness and professionalism of James (and Megan at the office) were much appreciated. The project was completed in just a few hours, exceeding our expectations and replacing an eyesore with a beautiful garden area to be enjoyed year after year."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.  

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.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.
