Frequently Asked Questions About Retaining Walls
Why do some retaining walls lean or fail over time?
The #1 reason retaining walls fail is poor drainage. Without proper gravel backfill and drainage pipes behind the wall, water builds up, freezes in the winter, and pushes the blocks forward. We engineer every wall with comprehensive drainage systems to prevent this.
Do I need a permit to build a retaining wall in Milwaukee?
It depends on the height of the wall and your local municipality. Generally, walls over 3 to 4 feet tall require a permit and sometimes an engineer’s design. We handle the site evaluation and guide you through the requirements for your specific city.
What materials do you use for your walls?
We use premium manufactured segmental retaining wall (SRW) blocks and natural stone, designed specifically to interlock and withstand the freeze-thaw cycles of Wisconsin weather.
