"Jayme Dennis was a great find. He landscaped my front and backyards all in just a few days. He was very reasonable in his estimate and stuck to the amount he quoted. The results were picture worthy. Any other landscaping projects I will always go to him first for quality, price, and his follow through."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, 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. 

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.  

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
