Why Do I Need a Retaining Wall?
There are many reasons to put in a retaining wall on your property. They are great at holding back soils that would otherwise run all over the place when it rains. They also help divert water away from your home or building’s foundation, where it can cause erosion and other foundation problems. We work with the natural terrain of your property to design top-notch retaining walls that channel rainwater away from your home.
Of course, you could DIY your own retaining wall, but the cost of blocks alone will add up fast, since they cost between $1.25 and $4 per block. You’ll want multiple courses of blocks, and gaps called “weeping holes” to allow groundwater to escape without slowly tearing down the retaining wall as it flows downhill.
