Retaining Wall - Install FAQs

Yes, a well-built retaining wall can enhance your home's curb appeal and increase its value. By creating defined spaces and improving your landscaping design, a retaining wall not only looks great but also adds functional outdoor living space. In comprehensive projects, you might see a return on investment of 100% to 200%.

The lifespan of your retaining wall depends on the materials used and proper installation. Wood walls last 5 to 20 years, metal walls can endure 20 to 100 years, concrete walls provide strength for 50 to 100 years, and stone walls can last 50 to 200 years. With professional construction, you can expect your retaining wall to be durable and long-lasting.

Retaining walls require a properly designed drainage system to prevent water damage. An effective drainage system directs rainwater and groundwater away from the wall, preserving its structural integrity and preventing rot. 

For walls over four feet in height or constructed with materials such as wood, poured concrete, or concrete blocks, incorporating quality drainage is imperative. This design safeguards both the wall and the surrounding soil from erosion and damaging water pressure.

A retaining wall installation is completed within one to three weeks. The installation process is efficient and structured, beginning with site preparation and proceeding through accurate construction phases. The timeline depends on factors such as wall dimensions, the chosen materials, and local climate conditions. Weather events and site-specific challenges may extend the schedule, yet projects proceed in a streamlined manner when executed by skilled professionals.
