Dos and Don’ts of Building Retaining Walls
When you hire a contractor or DYI your retaining walls keep in mind the following:
DO choose a material you can easily work with.
DO start with a good foundation.
DO stack blocks at a slight backward slope.
DO backfill correctly.
DON’T lay blocks on an unlevel surface.
DON’T forget to check with the authorities - Some HOA require special permits.
DON’T forget to allow for drainage.
DON’T opt for a single tall wall if you can construct multiple tiered walls.
