| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Retaining Wall Installation | From $30/sq ft | Design and construction of new retaining walls for lakefront yards, raised lots, pool decks, and driveways across the Orlando area, built with proper footings, gravel backfill, and drainage for long-term stability in Central Florida sand. |
| Retaining Wall Repair | From $1,500 | Repair of leaning, bowing, cracked, or settling retaining walls, from drainage correction and tieback anchors to partial rebuilds that stop failure before it becomes collapse. |
| Retaining Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Full tear-out and replacement of failed or end-of-life walls, including rotting railroad tie and landscape timber walls, with demolition, haul-away, new drainage, and modern engineered materials. |
| Concrete Retaining Walls | From $35/sq ft | Poured concrete and reinforced CMU block retaining walls with engineered footings, rebar, and weep holes, the strongest option for tall walls, driveways, pool decks, and tight city lots. |
| Block & Segmental Retaining Walls | From $25/sq ft | Segmental retaining walls (SRW) in Allan Block, Versa-Lok, and Keystone systems: mortarless engineered block with geogrid reinforcement, ideal for lakefront terraces, curves, raised beds, and garden walls. |
| Boulder & Natural Stone Walls | From $25/sq ft | Boulder and natural stone retaining walls that blend into lakefront and pond-side landscaping, machine-placed rock construction with proper base preparation and drainage for a natural, durable finish. |
| Timber Retaining Walls | From $20/sq ft | Pressure-treated timber walls for garden beds and low raised borders, a budget-friendly option, with honest guidance on when timber makes sense and when a longer-lasting material is the better call. |
| Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control | Free estimate | Stabilization of lake banks, pond banks, raised lots, and the rolling hills of west Orange and Lake County with terraced retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement, and erosion control, protecting homes, driveways, and yards. |
| Retaining Wall Drainage | From $2,500 | Drainage systems that make walls last: French drains, weep holes, gravel backfill, and waterproofing that relieve hydrostatic pressure, the number one cause of retaining wall failure. |
| Railroad Tie Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Removal and replacement of aging railroad tie retaining walls from the 1980s and 90s: creosote-treated tie demolition and haul-away, new gravel backfill and drainage, and a rebuild in segmental block, concrete, or natural stone. |
| Leaning & Collapsed Wall Repair | From $2,500 | Priority response for leaning, bulging, and collapsed retaining walls: stabilization with tieback anchors, drainage correction to relieve hydrostatic pressure, and partial or full rebuilds when a wall is past saving. |
What Affects the Price

- Site accessibility and terrain : Sloped or difficult-to-reach areas may require additional equipment and labor, impacting the price.
