Frequently Asked Questions

  • How deep should the foundation be for a retaining wall?

    Retaining wall foundations must be deep enough to support the weight and pressure of the retained soil. The depth depends on the wall’s height, soil type and materials used. Typically, at least one-third of the wall’s height is embedded below ground, with extra depth for drainage or structural needs.

  • Do I need drainage behind my retaining wall?

    Yes, proper drainage is crucial to prevent water pressure from building up behind the wall, which can lead to structural failure. Most retaining walls include drainage gravel, weep holes or perforated pipes to allow water to escape. Drainage design is a key part of wall stability and longevity.

  • What causes retaining walls to fail?

    Common causes include poor drainage, inadequate foundation preparation, incorrect materials or construction on unstable soil. Over time, tree roots, groundwater pressure or shifting soil can also lead to failure. That’s why proper site preparation, including excavation and compaction, is essential before building a retaining wall.
