Frequently Asked Questions

Do retaining walls need permits?

Most jurisdictions require permits for walls above a certain height, and engineering may be required for structural walls. We plan for this as part of the project.

What happens to water behind the wall?

Proper drainage design behind a retaining wall is essential — every wall we build includes a drainage plan appropriate to the site.

We serve homeowners throughout San Diego County, Orange County, and Riverside County / the Inland Empire.
