FAQs on Our Retaining Wall Services

What Is the Cost Comparison Between Types of Retaining Walls?

The cost of retaining walls varies based on materials, size, and complexity of installation. Timber and boulder walls are often the most affordable and offer durability and a unique visual impact. Concrete typically falls on the higher end due to its durability, design flexibility, and lifespan.

Depending on the materials and length of your retaining wall, you can expect to pay around $45- $100 per square foot. Connect with us for a more exact quote.

What Is a Gravity Wall vs. a Reinforced Wall?

A gravity wall relies on its own weight to resist pressure, using heavy materials like stone or concrete stacked strategically. Reinforced walls, on the other hand, use additional support such as steel bars or geogrid mesh to combat soil pressure, allowing them to handle larger loads and higher walls.

When designing your landscape, our experts will help you identify the type and style of wall that best fits your yard.

What Are the Different Uses of Retaining Walls?

Retaining walls are versatile features with multiple uses, including erosion control, water drainage management, creating level terraces for gardens, or simply enhancing outdoor aesthetics. They’re particularly beneficial on properties with uneven terrain or hilly landscapes.
