Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a retaining wall on my property?
Retaining walls are designed to hold back soil, prevent erosion, and create level areas in sloped yards. In San Diego, they are especially useful for hillside properties and homes with uneven terrain. They also add curb appeal and can increase usable outdoor space.
What materials are best for retaining walls in San Diego?
The most popular options include concrete blocks, natural stone, and poured concrete. Each has different benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics, and cost. Our team can recommend the best material based on your budget, property layout, and style preferences.
Do I need a permit to build a retaining wall in San Diego?
In most cases, retaining walls over 3–4 feet in height require a permit and sometimes engineering plans to ensure safety and compliance with city regulations. We handle the entire permitting process for you to make it hassle-free.
How long do retaining walls last?
With professional installation and proper drainage, a retaining wall can last 15–50 years or more. The lifespan depends on the materials used and ongoing maintenance.
How much does a retaining wall cost in San Diego?
Costs vary depending on the size, height, materials, and site conditions. On average, retaining walls in San Diego can range from $100 to $250+ per square foot. We provide free on-site estimates so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
What happens if my retaining wall fails?
Common causes of wall failure include poor drainage, improper design, or lack of reinforcement. Our team specializes in both new builds and repairs, ensuring your wall is built to last and backed by warranty.
Can retaining walls be decorative as well as functional?
Yes! Beyond functionality, retaining walls can be designed with stone veneers, lighting, seating, planters, or terracing to enhance the beauty of your landscape.
How long does installation take?
Most retaining walls can be built within 1–3 weeks, depending on size, design complexity, and site conditions.
