Questions that shape the right retaining wall design

A preferred color or stone style is only one part of the decision. A useful design discussion also covers what the wall must support, how water will leave the drainage zone and what equipment can reach the work area.

What grade change must the wall hold?
Will a driveway, patio, fence or structure sit above it?
Where can collected water discharge safely?
Does the site need stairs, curves, terraces or planting areas?
Which materials fit the home and surrounding landscape?
