Walls exceeding 4 feet in height (measured from the bottom of the footing) generally require permits in most Atlanta-area municipalities. Our team handles all necessary permitting as part of our comprehensive service.
A properly engineered and constructed retaining wall should last decades. Modular block systems typically carry 25-50 year warranties, while natural stone walls can last generations with proper construction.
Quality retaining walls require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspection of drainage systems and monitoring for any soil movement or water issues behind the wall is recommended. Natural stone and block walls may benefit from occasional cleaning.

Every retaining wall we build includes appropriate drainage systems, typically including gravel backfill, drain tile, and weep holes or outlets. These systems prevent water pressure buildup behind the wall—the primary cause of wall failure.
