Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
NC generally requires a permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall, and rules can differ by town. We help you check with the town before we start. Shorter walls often do not need one, but your HOA may still want to approve the look and location.
Should I choose block or natural stone?
Block is consistent, goes up efficiently, and comes in many colors. Natural stone has a more organic look but takes longer to fit. Both can be built to last when the base and drainage are right. We show you samples at your free estimate and help you choose for your budget.
How do you handle drainage behind the wall?
Water pushing on a wall is what makes walls fail, and red clay holds a lot of it. We place drainage stone behind the wall with a perforated pipe that carries water to a safe outlet. Tall walls also get geogrid tied back into the soil for extra strength.
Can a retaining wall stop erosion on my slope?
It can help a lot. A wall holds soil in place, and the drainage behind it keeps heavy rain from washing out the slope. We also look at where runoff comes from above the wall so that water is guided around it instead of straight down the hill.
Can you turn a steep slope into usable yard?
Yes, that is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. We build a wall, level the area behind it, and leave you with flat ground for a patio, play space, or garden. Most walls take two to four days depending on length and height.
