After nearly 5 weeks, this retaining wall project is coming to an end. Now that it’s almost over, I am curious as to what this would have cost me if I hired professionals. The wall on the right is 35 feet long going up a 6-degree slope. The back wall is on level ground and 12 ft long. It’s about 28 inches high all the way across, including the base course. There’s a processed gravel base, drain pipe, and a crap ton of clear gravel behind the wall. My cost ended up being around $1200.

Geo textile re-enforcement grid too I hope. Lowes block doesn’t have re-enforcement pins either like versa-lok. Settling of the backfill over time will be the real test. Hard to tell at the moment how it’ll hold. Looks like it was installed pretty decent for what it is though.
I’d say anywhere from $3-4k, definitely saved some coin. Good job 👍
Depends on your location. Around me it would have been several thousand dollars.
i dont kno schit, but its looks good 👍
That depends on how long you live. 5 Weeks is a lot of time to give away if your number is up.
Probably a $6k-$8k wall if you paid someone.
I hope you used geogrid?

I recon 5k, builders or landscapers aren’t cheap.
I hope it holds well for you. It looks tidy.
Just did one that size for 10k. But its very nice block with capstone, about 50 yds excavated and a 1500 sqft beach included
