     Guide and advice for choosing a boulder retaining wall company.

This information is very helpful.

 1.  Get free estimates for boulder wall services.  Retaining wall projects can be expensive.

 2.  See past boulder retaining wall pictures.  Check out other landscape websites.  Look at their boulder wall pictures.  Some of their boulder walls look like the below pictures of walls not well built. Seeing past work is what you would get.

 3.  Notice if there are huge gaps between the boulders. You will have some. Which is good for drainage.

 4.  Are boulders stacked haphazard on top of one another?  Lining up the rows makes the wall structurally safe.

 5.  Are large boulders stacked on smaller ones?  Some landscape companies do stack large boulders on smaller ones.      

 6.  Are  there small rocks trying to hide the large gaps? Are they trying to hide their lack of workmanship? They need to take the time to analyze . There will be smaller gaps which allows water to seep through.

 7.  Are the boulders protruding further outward and not even with the wall's face?   (( look at a side angle))

 8.  Are their boulder retaining walls symmetrical?  Does the rows of boulders have a straight form? 

 9.  Is fabric included in the price?  This is the one area you do not want to cut corners.  The fabric holds back the dirt but lets the water seep through the wall.

 10.  Get referrals.  Maybe even visit a past job site and see the retaining wall. This will help you feel confident on your decision.

 11.  Voice  concerns. It is your investment.                                             

 12.  Will they come back to fix the boulder wall?
