Frequently Asked Questions About Retaining Walls
A properly built retaining wall can last 20–50 years or more. Longevity depends on the quality of materials, soil conditions, and proper drainage behind the wall. At Clear Water Pools, we design walls with engineered block or premium stone and install drainage solutions that prevent water buildup—the most common cause of wall failure. With seasonal inspections and minor upkeep, your wall will remain strong and attractive for decades.
We offer multiple options to suit different styles and budgets, including natural stone, engineered concrete block, and decorative stone veneer. Natural stone offers a timeless look, while engineered block provides consistent strength and design flexibility. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each material and recommend the best fit for your property’s layout and design goals.
In many cases, yes—especially if the wall is taller than 4 feet or if it affects drainage patterns. Clear Water Pools takes care of the permitting process for you, ensuring your retaining wall meets all local building codes and regulations. We also work with engineers when needed for taller, load-bearing walls to guarantee both safety and compliance.
