Fequently Asked Questions

FAQS

WAHT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RETAINING WALL AND A LANDSCAPE WALL?

A retaining wall is designed to hold back earth and manage changes in elevation, while a landscape wall is typically used to define space, create borders, or add visual structure without significant load. Some walls can serve both purposes depending on design and construction.

DO LANDSCAPE WALLS REQUIRE DRAINAGE?

Not necessarily, but in many cases – yes., If the wall is holding back soil, or otherwise situated on unlevel ground, proper drainage behind the wall helps relieve water pressure, pooling, and supports long-term stability. Freestanding, level, or decorative walls may not require the same drainage measures. Consulting with a professional when in doubt is always recommended.

DO I NEED A PERMIT TO BUILD A RECLAIMED STONE OR BRICK WALL?

In many cases, yes, especially for retaining walls and property border walls over a certain height. Permit requirements vary by municipality, so it’s best to check local regulations before installation. Additionally, it’s always a good idea to check land surveys and confirm your property boundary lines.
