Frequently Asked Questions

What types of retaining wall do you do?

We do various types of walls. We do Solid Concrete walls with an engineered footing for critical walls. We do Gravity walls which is large concrete pre-cast blocks that are stacked to form a wall. We do gabion basket walls which is a welded mesh basket that is filled with stone, We do CMU block walls that is small concrete blocks that is traditionally built with mortar joints. This walls can be cladded with stone. We also do Stone walls on engineered foundations

How high can a retaining wall be?

We can build to any height. For economical reasons we might slope a wall in stead of going vertical.

Why do retaining walls fail?

Any type of retaining wall fail mainly because of improper installation. It is very important to address long term drainage behind the wall and ensure proper compaction of materials behind the wall. Very few walls can withstand hydrostatic pressures

What type of warranty do you provide ?

Our walls are backed up by an engineers design and we are fully insured. Any wall we build are guarantied to last 10 years or more

How much does a retaining wall cost?

The cost of a wall depends on type and designs as well as your site conditions and purpose of the wall. Our walls would typically range from $ 45 per square ft to $ 90 per sq ft but the average is $ 75 per sq ft.

What are your terms and conditions?

As materials are made very specifically for each wall we do ask for a 50% deposit when the wall is ordered. Depending on the wall we do two more payments during construction.
