"Graydon and Jacob have been great to work with and the wall was done as asked. Graydon even contacted the metal building company to make sure it worked for them and there were no issues. Glad to be making progress! Next is the slab for the garage."

"Brandon and Scott did a great job! This is the third landscape lighting project I’ve had done (work relocations). I had an idea on what I wanted and they helped pull it all together while keeping the price right. They were able to fit me in their schedule the next week. Once they completed the install they came back out to make adjustments to ensure I was pleased! Would gladly recommend to others."

"Gabriel and his crew were awesome! I usually lean towards bigger companies, but I saw Dream Homez work on Facebook, and figured i’d give them a try. my wife and I have wanted a retaining wall around our pools walk way for a while. I was expecting something small and simple. Gabriel absolutely blew me an away with his work. Kept the job clean, and it came out better than I could have imagined. Highly recommended!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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.

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.
