Frequently Asked Questions

What type of retaining wall is right for my property?

Not all retaining walls serve the same purpose. CMU block walls are engineered for structural integrity and long-term soil retention, while landscape stack stone systems provide a decorative, design-driven solution. Our team evaluates your site conditions to recommend the appropriate system for both stability and appearance.

Why do retaining walls fail in San Diego?

Poor drainage is the main culprit. Hillside properties shed water downslope, and without proper drainage behind and beneath the wall, hydrostatic pressure builds and pushes the wall outward. We design drainage systems that prevent this.

Can a retaining wall stop erosion on my San Diego hillside?

Yes. A properly engineered wall with good grading stops active erosion by holding soil in place and directing water away. We assess your slope and recommend the wall height and materials that will protect your property long-term.

How much does a retaining wall cost in San Diego?

Cost depends on height, material (block runs $30-50/sq ft, stone $50-80/sq ft), and soil conditions on your property. We provide a written estimate after inspecting your yard and slope.
