Question 1

Do you build retaining walls in Blairsville, GA?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ERWalls provides engineered retaining wall construction and repair throughout Blairsville and the surrounding north Georgia mountain area.

Question 2

Why do retaining walls fail on Blairsville mountain lots?

Accepted Answer

Most failures come from bad drainage, weak base prep, or walls built too tall without engineering. Steep slopes magnify pressure and water problems.

Question 3

When is an engineered retaining wall required in Blairsville?

Accepted Answer

Any tall wall, wall supporting a structure or driveway, or wall on a steep slope typically needs engineering to meet code and stay safe.

Question 4

Can you repair a leaning or cracked retaining wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We inspect the cause first, then repair or rebuild using proper drainage and reinforcement so the wall doesn’t fail again.

Question 5

What retaining wall systems work best in Blairsville?

Accepted Answer

For steep or tall walls we use reinforced earth (MSE/geogrid), big-block systems, or geo-anchors depending on the site and height.

Question 6

How do you handle drainage behind retaining walls?

Accepted Answer

We build a full stone drainage zone with pipe and outlets per the design. Water control is the #1 factor in long-term wall stability.

Question 7

Can you build a retaining wall on a very steep backyard?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We bench and step the base into competent soil or bedrock, then reinforce the wall to stop sliding or settlement.

Question 8

Do you work with tight access or hard-to-reach sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly build on mountain terrain with limited access and can use specialized equipment, staging, or crane support if needed.

Question 9

How long does a retaining wall project usually take?

Accepted Answer

Most Blairsville projects take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on height, access, and engineering requirements.

Question 10

What makes ERWalls different from landscaper-built walls?

Accepted Answer

We build to engineered specs with correct base prep, drainage, reinforcement, and inspection—so the wall performs long-term, not just looks good on day one.
