The Many Benefits of Retaining Walls
Many benefits wait in store for when you install a retaining wall at your home or commercial location.
These include but are not limited to:
- Erosion control: Retaining walls prevent soil erosion by holding back and stabilizing sloping terrain
- Structural support: By preventing soil from shifting or collapsing, retaining walls can protect properties
- Maximized land use: To make steep land usable, retaining walls create terraced levels and flat surfaces
- Aesthetic enhancement: Many retaining walls increase the appearance of properties and complement existing architecture and surroundings
- Property value: Well-designed and properly constructed retaining walls can increase the value of a property by improving its functionality, aesthetics, and stability
- Water management: Retaining walls assist with managing water runoff and drainage by channeling water away from structures
- Privacy and security: A retaining wall is great for enhancing privacy, securing property property, and reducing noise

Our Retaining Wall Installation Process
We tailor our installation process to our customer’s specifications and the dimensions and needs of their properties. It begins with planning and design, which involves assessing drainage requirements and soil conditions and determining the wall’s appropriate size. It also involves selecting materials. At DirtFX, we use dependable products from Redi-Rock, a leading supplier of pre-cast modular blocks, steps, caps, and other retaining wall accessories.
Once we have a plan in place, we generally go through the following steps:
Permitting & Site Preparation
We check local building codes and obtain necessary permits. Then, we clear the site of vegetation, debris, and any existing structures to prepare for the wall’s construction.
Excavation & Grading
Before beginning construction, we excavate the area where the wall must be installed. We also grade the soil to create a level base for the wall’s foundation.
Foundation Preparation
Construction begins with creating a sturdy base for the retaining wall, which typically involves placing a layer of compacted gravel or crushed stone. Then, we often install a drainage system behind the wall to eliminate water buildups that could strain the structure.
Wall Construction
To erect the wall, we use appropriate techniques to properly align and level the blocks on top of one another.
Backfilling & Compaction
We often backfill and compact the space behind the retaining wall with gravel or other materials to support the wall and facilitate drainage.
Finishing Touches
We may cap the wall with finishing stones for a polished look. We will also inspect the wall for correct alignment, stability, and drainage.
