WHY SUNSET FOR RETAINING WALLS

Three reasons it's worth the call.

Engineered designs over 4ft

Stamped engineering protects the build and the owner.

HOW PRICING WORKS

No hidden math.

Materials & base prep
Paver line, stone, and the engineered base built for freeze/thaw.
Site access & structures
Machine access, grading, and any walls, steps, or drainage in scope.

QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

Retaining Walls questions, answered.

Do I need engineering?

Walls 4 feet and taller, or any wall against a structure, must be engineered. We include the stamped drawings.

How long does a wall take to build?

Typical 60-foot residential wall is 5–10 days. Longer walls or those needing engineering can take 2–4 weeks total with permitting.

Will it leak?

Properly built walls don't. Drain tile + clean-stone backfill behind every wall — non-negotiable.

What's the warranty?

5-year installation warranty plus the Unilock manufacturer warranty on the blocks.

Do you handle permits?

Yes — DuPage and the local municipality. Engineering review packets included where required.
