Hello I'm Tim, I've been working on a lot of projects over my lifetime and i aim to complete them to perfection. i grew up taking care of my grandparents home for them for many years from basic things around the house for grandma such as dusting and cleaning windows to extensive projects for grandpa ranging from mowing the lawn to installing a retaining wall to raise the lawn four feet to make it level. Along with other project with dad on the old farm house i grew up in, including new windows, new doors, new siding, new garage doors, new side walks and new concert steps. I've used the knowledge they have bestowed in me to fix up my new home. my current full time job requires me to pay attention to every little detail and I've gone from welder to metal fabrication supervisor in just two and a half years! i take extensive pride in my work and enjoyment of watching other people enjoy my completed work.

"Excellently! Tim arrived the day a placed my job on Angi. He evaluated the job and scheduled for later in the same week. His quote was fair. On the day of the repair Tim arrived shortly after the arranged time and got right to work. The job was completed in approximately 30 minutes or so. The door works great now! Thanks, Tim! I highly recommend Tim’s Handyman Service."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property.
