Retaining Wall FAQ’s
Do I need a permit or special engineering to install a retaining wall?
If the wall is under 4’ tall then the answer is usually no. However, there are certain scenarios where it would be required.
I’ve seen pictures of walls that fall over, how do you prevent this from happening?
The 2 most common reasons a retaining wall fails is improper drainage and incorrect backfill material. Water build up behind a wall causes excess pressure on the wall. It is important to have ways for water to escape. Additionally, it is imperative that the correct type and amount of stone backfill is used behind the wall.
