What does a retaining wall cost in Edmond?

Most residential walls land in the range of $40–$90 per square foot of wall face installed, driven by material, height, access, and drainage scope. Small garden walls can come in under that; tall or engineered walls above it. Every project gets an exact written quote, free, on-site.

Do I need a permit or an engineer for my wall?

It depends on the wall's height and what it supports. Taller walls, and walls holding up slopes, driveways, or structures, often require engineered plans and a City of Edmond permit. Requirements vary by project, so we confirm exactly what applies to yours before work starts — and we don't build walls that skip them.

Can my leaning wall be repaired, or does it need a rebuild?

It comes down to why it's leaning. Surface issues — a shifted cap, a settled corner — can often be repaired. A wall leaning because of trapped water or a failed base usually needs a rebuild, because the cause is behind the wall, not in it. We diagnose on-site and tell you straight which one you're looking at.

How long does a retaining wall take to build?

Most residential walls take between two days and two weeks on-site, depending on length, height, access, and how much drainage work the slope needs. You'll get a schedule with your quote.

Why do retaining walls fail so often in Edmond?

Almost always water and clay. Edmond's expansive red clay swells against walls every wet season, and walls built without gravel backfill and drain tile trap that water behind them. Add a generation of landscape-timber walls reaching end of life, and you get a lot of leaning walls — most of them underbuilt where it doesn't show.

"Julian and his crew did an amazing job on our retaining wall. From the initial meeting with Julian, communication was clear and easy, they were always punctual, and courteous.

We have already recommended them to friends needing any kind of landscape work or retaining walls built.

There were some issues with sprinklers after the wall was built, but the crew came back and fixed them without charge. Finally, someone who is up front and honest, and very good at customer service!

I would recommended 1000 times over!"

"They just built an outstanding retaining wall on my property. Their work was impeccable with attention to every smallest detail. They went over and above my expectations on the quality of work, the material and the skill that their workers did.

Julian, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to deal with from the quote to the final detail of the work. Their workers were hard working and very kind to do business with. Julian checked the work often and was available by phone anytime I called him.

I cannot say enough good words about this company but am so glad I found them. They can do all kinds of work from retaining walls, sprinklers, pools, landscape, anything. They are amazing! Thank you!!!!"
