Question 1

How much does a retaining wall cost in Milford?

Accepted Answer

It depends on length, height, material and access. Walls are priced by the face foot plus excavation and drainage, and boulder walls usually cost less per foot than block. We measure on site and quote one price. Estimates are free.

Question 2

How long does a retaining wall take to build?

Accepted Answer

Most walls take two to four days. Boulder borders can be one day. Long or tiered walls can take a week.

Question 3

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Michigan?

Accepted Answer

Usually not for walls under about 4 feet with nothing heavy above them. Taller walls, or walls holding a driveway, patio or pool, need engineering and a permit in most townships. We check the rules for your address before we quote.

Question 4

Why do retaining walls fail?

Accepted Answer

Water. No base, no drainage stone, no outlet and no geogrid means freeze thaw pushes the wall over a little every year. Every wall we build has a compacted base, drainage stone, drain tile and geogrid where the height calls for it.

Question 5

Boulder wall or block wall?

Accepted Answer

Boulders look natural, go in faster with our machine and usually cost less per foot. Block gives you straight lines, exact heights and caps you can sit on. We will recommend one based on the slope and the look of the house.

Question 6

Can you fix or rebuild my old wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We pull failed timber, block and boulder walls, fix the base and drainage, and rebuild, reusing the stone when it is worth it.
