What do retaining walls services include?
Retaining walls services include all the necessary tasks to build a sturdy and attractive retaining wall in your outdoor space to prevent erosion. Your hired retaining wall contractors can assess the site, help you design the retaining wall if you don’t have a design ready, then build the wall.
Assessing the site
The first step in retaining wall construction is taking site measurements. Your Tasker can consider distinct site features, like if the wall will be placed on a slope and if the site gets a lot of rain or snowmelt. The retaining wall builders can also recommend the appropriate design and materials to suit the site’s measurements and features.
Designing the walls
If you don’t have a design already, a local retaining wall contractor can help you make one. Some local landscape retaining wall contractors can provide you with not just any retaining wall design, but one that conforms with established zoning laws and safety and industry standards. The design can also have the aesthetic elements you want and be sturdy enough to prevent soil erosion in your property. Yes, you can have all this while keeping within your budget! When you post a task, specify your budget and get offers from retaining wall contractors near you.
Getting permits
The next step is to get permits for the design and build. Your Tasker can obtain the required permits from the relevant authorities like your Homeowner’s Association, City Planning Department, or other federal jurisdiction. Note that some Taskers may charge extra for getting these permits. Even as construction and zoning laws vary from state to state, don’t worry; Local retaining wall installers know how and where to get the appropriate permits.
Preparing for the build
Your Tasker can get the materials and prepare the appropriate tools. Whichever type of retaining wall you want to be built—brick, concrete, concrete bag, wood, or natural stone—your Tasker can get the right materials! Your Tasker can also make sure the materials and tools are of the right specification, quality, and amount. Then, they can turn over any leftover materials after the build.
Building the retaining walls
Your hired Taskers can do the retaining wall installation or construction once they’re ready with the design, permits, and materials. They can build your retaining wall as per the drafted design, so there are no surprises. The result could be an aesthetically pleasing yet functional wall that can protect your property from soil erosion. The Tasker can execute the design, whether it’s a retaining wall made of wood, concrete, hollow blocks, cement bags, or boulders. They’ll use the appropriate tools, procured materials, safety equipment, and techniques.
Finishing touches
Your Tasker can apply any finishing touches or embellishments on the retaining wall design as required. This can include installing capstones on stone walls, creating gradual step-downs or turning-in sections, backfilling, or installing greenery and other embellishments. Don’t forget that you can also have other features like privacy screens or outdoor blinds installed.

Starting my outside renovation project but current wood retaining wall is rotten. Not sure if it would be better to tear existing one down along with fence or keep it how it is and building in front so it will eat into my land. My outside will be quite expensive so which ever is more cost effective would be better. The wall is 25-30m in length and I’m not too sure what height it would need to be, but I’m guessing 700mm. I want a retaining wall that will lasts so I’m not interested in wood and I’ve also heard that concrete sleepers rust and crack after 14 years, I’m leaning more towards besser block walls (or similar) Although I’m open to concrete walls too. I’m looking to get this wall started in the next 2-4 weeks. I also would not like to waste anyone’s time here, so a ballpark figure on the cost of labour would be great before you come out to the property to inspect. I understand you may want to see it first, but I don’t have the time be home to show 10+ trades. If you have any other questions please feel free to message me. Thanks.

I need help digging out some soil so I can install a retaining wall. The soil can be used and does not need to be removed from site. Budget is for my estimate of 3 hours work required, but am happy to pay for up to 5 hours if the job is bigger than I think ($75 hour). Soil is currently damp and easy to dig though the bottom layer may be clay and heavy. I only need help with the digging at this stage. Needs to be done on the weekend (this one or next). Early start to beat heat fine.
