A retaining wall is a structure that is typically no more than 3 feet in height but is constructed to withstand lateral pressure or to hold back the soil.
Although there are various types of retaining wall structures, they can be used to perform a variety of purposes. Architectural grading and retaining walls increase the functional living space of your outdoor living areas and can be used to create space for swimming pools, play areas for children, patios or entertaining spaces, or outdoor fireplaces and kitchens.

What to look for in a quality contractor.
Here are some important things to consider when you begin shopping for a contractor to install your retaining wall.
Check References
A retaining wall contractor should always be willing to offer at least 5-10 references for customers that they have provided services for in the past. It is up to you to check with other customers to verify satisfaction. They also will not mind showing you examples of their previous work.
Soil Stabilization
When you are shopping for a retaining wall contractor be sure to ask how they stabilize the soil. Unless the soil is fortified and stabilized, your retaining wall will fall to pieces when the soil becomes saturated. Rainfall should also be safely diverted through a drainage system built into the wall during installation.
