01
Retaining walls primarily fail due to improper installation, inadequate drainage, and poor compaction of backfill materials. Address long-term drainage behind the wall and ensure proper compaction during construction to prevent failure. Our experienced team follows best practices to build durable retaining walls that stand the test of time.
02
Permit requirements for retaining walls vary based on local regulations and the wall’s height and location. In Gainesville, for example, fences erected on top of a retaining wall are subject to specific height limitations. We recommend consulting with local authorities or our team to determine if a permit is necessary for your project.
