"Big shout out to Alex, Gami, and the crew at Forest Landscape for our latest retaining wall and patio project. They were responsive and professional, and communicated with us throughout the project. They could not have been nicer or more hard working. We are very pleased with the work, and highly recommend Forest Landscape."

"A true perfectionist. Wonderful workmanship. Corrected errors of the original paver installers and added new square footage to my existing patio.

"George and his crew work very hard and do an excellent job. We made changes mid-project and they accommodated us without complaint. The crew showed up early and stayed late. George is a great communicator and his crew is respectful. We got a two car driveway install done in two days. I highly recommend them."

"Excellent responsiveness from the start. After contacting, Oscar came out first thing in the next morning, provided a complete quote within a few hours, and we were able to schedule the services immediately when another job finished early. The service was very professional & thorough and completed in a timely manner. We found out they can provide a broad array of services and we will be working with them in the future for backflow testing and tree trimming."

"Junior and his crew did a great job on our large patio, fire pit and steps. An old patio also had to be removed. They helped us move a large gazebo out of the way of the work and replace it when done. We did have a glitch in the first concrete pour due to the concrete manufacturer. The crew worked hard to make it right, looked at various options and made sure to fix it in the way we wanted. We are very happy with the finished product. I love the sand finish that they recommended. At different times we've also had them build some retaining walls for us, which we love"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.  

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
