Do stone retaining walls need drainage?

Yes. Proper gravel backfill and drainage pipe are critical so rainwater does not push the wall forward over time.

How tall can a residential stone retaining wall be?

Height depends on site conditions, soil, and design. Many residential walls are built in tiers for both strength and appearance. We advise the right approach during your free estimate.
