Boulder Wall FAQs
Boulder wall installation times will vary based on the size, scope and degree of difficulty with each individual project. Some boulder walls are part of a larger landscaping project and may include elements like drainage and irrigation or the planting of trees, plant and bushes. Most smaller projects should take no more than a few days to finish.
Similar to the question of how long will installation take, the costs of installation will vary based on the size, scope and degree of difficulty – as well as the type of materials being used. We’re happy to consult with you and provide an estimate and scope of work.
When we talk to you about the retaining wall design that you envision, we can advise the type of materials that will suit your needs and your design preferences. Materials available include concrete block, natural stone, brick and boulders. We’re happy to talk to you about the pros and cons of each building material.
We do design, build and install boulder retaining walls for our clients. We can start from scratch if no wall previously exists, or we can remove an existing wall and replace it with boulders. Boulder retaining walls are popular in Minnesota because they blend in well with the natural landscape. Stacked natural stone walls are also popular for this reason.
A boulder wall can fail if it is unable to withstand the force created by the soil and other softscape elements that are behind it. A boulder wall failure can be the result of a flawed design, improper construction, age, drainage issues, storms or other issues. We will evaluate your wall for possible repair or may advise for the removal of the old wall and installation of a new one.
Yes. Many boulder walls are built close to the lake for beauty’s sake or for practical reasons like keeping dirt, leaves, rocks and other organic material from sliding down into the lake or onto outdoor living areas and docks by the lake.
Do It Yourself (DIY) boulder wall installation is not a common project that homeowners generally take on themselves. Boulder installation requires specialized equipment and experience. And, once a project becomes larger in scope or involves other elements of landscape design like paved walkways, the building of steps or irrigation and drainage, professionals are called in.
