Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do all retaining walls need excavation?

    Yes, nearly all retaining walls require some degree of excavation. The amount depends on the wall's height, the type of materials used and the soil conditions. Excavation allows for a level base, space for drainage layers and room to securely anchor the wall’s footing or support system.

  • Can you prepare a retaining wall base on sloped land?

    Absolutely. Sloped sites often need retaining walls, and we’re equipped to handle the extra planning and precision required. The process may involve benching or stepped excavation to ensure the wall’s footing is stable. Proper grading and compaction are essential to manage drainage and prevent future movement.

  • Do I need drainage behind my retaining wall?

    Yes, drainage is a key component of retaining wall stability. Without it, water can build up behind the wall, increasing pressure and leading to failure. Drainage solutions often include gravel backfill, weep holes or ag pipes, all of which must be factored into the initial site prep.
