RETAINING WALL FAQ

Retaining wall costs in Omaha typically range from $25-$50 per square foot of wall face, depending on materials and complexity. A typical 50 linear foot wall at 3 feet high might cost $3,750-$7,500. Factors affecting price include wall height, materials, drainage requirements, and site accessibility.

In Omaha, retaining walls over 4 feet in height typically require a building permit and engineered plans. Walls under 4 feet generally don't require permits but must still meet setback requirements. We handle all permitting and engineering coordination for our projects.

A properly installed retaining wall can last 50-100 years depending on materials. Concrete block and natural stone walls are the most durable. Proper drainage is critical to longevity — most wall failures are due to water pressure buildup behind the wall.

Concrete segmental blocks are the most popular choice in Nebraska due to their durability in freeze-thaw conditions, variety of styles, and cost-effectiveness. Natural stone offers premium aesthetics, while poured concrete is ideal for very tall walls requiring maximum strength.
