Questions about a retaining wall project
What information helps when discussing a retaining wall?
Share the property location, wall dimensions if known, photos, access constraints, and any nearby driveway, structure, slope, or drainage concern. Existing plans can help a professional understand the project.
Can an existing wall be repaired?
A professional needs to assess the wall and site before recommending a repair or replacement. Document changes from a safe place, and keep clear if the wall or slope appears unstable.
What should a proposal identify?
Ask about wall dimensions and materials, excavation, drainage, design, permits, disposal, and restoration. Compare written proposals for the same scope, including any exclusions.
Which permit rules apply?
The reviewing authority depends on the property. The City of San Diego describes its retaining wall rules in Information Bulletin 220; other cities and unincorporated areas have their own processes. Confirm requirements with the department serving the address.
Who will perform the work?
Pro Wall SD is a referral service, not a licensed contractor. If you choose to hire an independent contractor, confirm the license, proposal and contract directly with that contractor.
