What is included with a retaining wall project?
A project can include the site assessment, wall layout, excavation, base preparation, drainage, filter fabric, reinforcement, premium block or natural boulder, backfill, capstones, cleanup, HOA and permit coordination when applicable, and our workmanship guarantee. Your proposal identifies the complete approved scope.
Do you help with HOA approval, city permits, and engineering?
Yes. We can organize the wall design, elevations, materials, and supporting information for HOA review, then coordinate permits and engineer-stamped plans when the wall height, site conditions, or structural loads require them.
What materials do you use for retaining walls?
Options can include segmental concrete block, natural boulder, and architectural wall systems. We recommend materials based on wall height, slope, soil, drainage, freeze-thaw exposure, the home's style, and the surrounding landscape.
How long does a retaining wall last?
A properly designed and installed block or boulder wall with a stable base, appropriate reinforcement, and reliable drainage can serve a property for decades. Water management is one of the most important factors in long-term wall performance.
Can you build a retaining wall with a fence on top?
Yes. D Fence can coordinate the wall structure and composite or vinyl fence layout, including engineering and post-sleeve planning when required, under one project scope and workmanship guarantee.
How long does retaining wall construction take?
Many residential retaining walls take roughly one to two working weeks. Length, height, excavation, access, engineering, weather, and bundled landscape work can change the schedule, which is defined in the proposal before construction begins.
