Frequently Asked Questions

The most affordable retaining walls are usually made from timber or pressure-treated wood. These materials are budget-friendly and easier to install, making them a great choice for small, non-structural walls. At Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing, we can help you weigh the pros and cons based on your needs and long-term goals.

The four main types are:

  • Gravity walls – rely on their own weight to hold back soil

  • Cantilever walls – use a reinforced base slab and leverage to stabilize

  • Anchored walls – supported by anchors driven deep into the soil

  • Sheet piling walls – thin vertical panels used in tight spaces or soft soil

Each type serves a different purpose, and at Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing, we recommend the right system based on your yard’s slope, soil type, and height needs.

The #1 cause of retaining wall failure is poor drainage. If water builds up behind the wall with no place to go, it creates pressure that can crack, lean, or even collapse the structure. That’s why we always include proper drainage systems with every wall we build.

Yes, even low retaining walls like a 2-footer should have basic drainage in place. Water can still accumulate behind short walls, leading to erosion or frost damage over time. We install compact, effective drainage that keeps your wall strong without taking up extra space.

You can, but it depends on the height and the purpose. DIY retaining walls are doable for short, decorative builds, usually under 3 feet. But for anything taller, structural, or load-bearing, it’s best to bring in pros like Diamond Masonry & Waterproofing. We make sure it’s safely engineered, properly drained, and built to code so you don’t run into issues later.
