Retaining Wall Contractor Florida — Frequently Asked Questions
What types of retaining walls does Foundation Masters build?
We design and construct CMU block, poured concrete, cast-in-place, segmental block, sheet pile, gravity, cantilevered, anchored, and tieback retaining walls.
Each system is engineered based on soil conditions, height, and loading requirements to ensure long-term stability in Florida’s challenging environment.
Do you provide engineering and permitting for retaining walls?
Yes. As a licensed civil and structural engineering firm, Foundation Masters provides sealed drawings, geotechnical review, structural calculations, and permitting support.
We work directly with Florida building departments to ensure code compliance and fast approvals.
How do you fix a failing or leaning retaining wall?
Repair options include tieback anchors, soil nails, drainage correction, underpinning, or partial rebuilds with improved engineering.
We also provide forensic analysis to determine why a wall failed and deliver a permanent, code-compliant fix.
What information do I need for a retaining wall quote?
Helpful details include the height and length of the wall, its intended use (slope stabilization, property boundary, erosion control, etc.), and any existing plans or soil reports.
With this, we can provide cost-per-foot pricing and timeline expectations quickly.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Florida?
Costs vary by height, length, materials, soil conditions, and access. Engineered CMU or poured concrete walls may start around $75–$120 per square foot, while complex anchored or sheet pile walls can be higher.
We provide detailed, value-engineered proposals after reviewing your site.
What causes retaining walls to fail in Florida?
Most failures result from poor drainage, undersized footings, hydrostatic pressure, and soils not matching the original design assumptions.
Florida’s high water table and sandy/loose soils make proper engineering critical for long-term performance.
Can you analyze a wall built by another contractor?
Yes. We provide forensic engineering and expert analysis for contractor disputes, insurance claims, and warranty concerns.
Our engineers inspect, document, and provide sealed reports and recommended solutions.
Do you offer drainage solutions with retaining walls?
Absolutely. Proper drainage is essential. We install weep holes, drainage pipes, geotextiles, and engineered backfill systems to relieve water pressure and extend wall life.

We build and repair retaining walls across the state — including Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Orlando, Naples, Jacksonville, and Miami.
Our team travels statewide for residential, commercial, and municipal earth retention projects.
