Question 1

Do I need an engineer for a retaining wall in Candler NC?

Accepted Answer

Most tall walls or steep-slope walls require engineering to meet code and stay safe long-term. ERWalls builds to engineered specs when required.

Question 2

What causes retaining walls to fail in Candler’s terrain?

Accepted Answer

Failures usually come from poor drainage, weak base prep, or walls built too tall without reinforcement. Mountain runoff makes water control critical.

Question 3

Can you repair a bulging or leaning retaining wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We diagnose the cause first, then stabilize, rebuild, or reinforce the wall so it performs long-term instead of failing again.

Question 4

How much does a retaining wall cost in Candler NC?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on height, access, soil conditions, drainage, and the wall system. We provide firm quotes after a site evaluation.

Question 5

What types of retaining walls do you build in Candler?

We build SRW block walls, reinforced earth (MSE/geogrid) walls, big-block systems, boulder walls, and geo-anchor/soil nail walls when needed.

Question 6

How long do retaining wall projects take in Candler?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Do you handle drainage and erosion control with the wall?

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