Do I Need a Retaining Wall?

Many Cincinnati yards sit on hills. A retaining wall is worth it when you see any of these:

• Erosion. Soil, mulch and plants wash downhill every time it rains.
• Unusable slope. The yard is too steep for a patio, garden or play area.
• Water running toward the house. A wall with drainage can redirect runoff away from the foundation and walkways.
• Hard-to-mow banks. Terracing a slope into levels makes it easier to maintain.

Which Retaining Wall Material Is Best?

How Much Does a Retaining Wall Cost?

The price depends on the length and height of the wall, the material, the drainage it needs, steps or curves, and access to the yard. Taller walls need more base, more drainage and sometimes a permit. We give you a written price after we see the slope. For typical Cincinnati ranges, see our hardscaping cost guide.

How We Build a Retaining Wall

1. We look at the slope, the soil and where the water goes.
2. We send a written estimate with the wall layout and material.
3. We dig the trench and build a compacted base so the wall stays level.
4. We install drainage behind the wall so water does not push on it.
5. We stack and backfill the wall in layers, add steps or caps, and clean up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?

It depends on the wall height and your city or township. We check the local rules for your address during the estimate.

Can you add steps to a retaining wall?

Yes. Steps can be built into the wall so you can walk between levels of the yard.

Can a retaining wall make room for a patio?

Yes. Leveling a slope with a wall is often the first step before a patio.

Do you build retaining walls in Blue Ash?

Yes. We build walls in Blue Ash and across eastern Cincinnati. See our guide to retaining walls in Blue Ash.
