Questions we hear
Retaining Walls in Folsom: FAQ
Does my retaining wall need a permit or engineering?+
In most Sacramento-area jurisdictions a retaining wall over 4 feet (measured bottom-of-footing to top), or any wall holding a slope or surcharge above it, requires engineering and a permit. Shorter landscape walls usually don't. We confirm with your city and handle the engineering and permitting when it's required.
What blocks or materials do you use?+
Segmental systems like Keystone, Allan Block, and Belgard Diamond Pro for engineered walls, or CMU block with natural-stone or stucco veneer for a finished architectural look. We bring samples to the walk-through.
Can you add planters or seat walls?+
Yes — built-in planters, seat walls, and steps are some of our most-requested add-ons and we build them into the same wall in one mobilization.
