Retaining Wall Construction FAQ

Common questions about retaining wall construction in Myrtle Beach, SC.

A retaining wall is the right choice when a slope is actively losing soil or creating drainage problems that grading alone cannot fix. Many Myrtle Beach properties with sandy coastal soil need a wall to hold the grade long-term.

Water pressure buildup behind a wall is the most common reason retaining walls fail in high-rainfall areas like Myrtle Beach. A wall built with proper drainage integrated into its foundation manages that pressure and stays structurally sound.

Yes, retaining walls work on mild slopes and flat yards too, often used to create raised planting beds or define separate outdoor areas. The wall design is adjusted to match the actual grade and soil conditions on your property.

Yes, David Heath manages every retaining wall project personally at Back Porch Designs And Repairs, so you work with one experienced builder throughout. There is no handoff to a crew you have not met.

Back Porch Designs And Repairs builds retaining walls throughout the Grand Strand area, including North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Longs, Murrells Inlet, Conway, Aynor, Florence, and Pawleys Island.

Most retaining wall failures in the Myrtle Beach area come from poor drainage design or a foundation that was not set deep enough for the soil conditions. Having an experienced builder assess your specific site before construction is the most reliable way to avoid those problems.

David and his team did a fabulous job redoing and new roof in my Carolina room. I used to hate that room because of the heat and floods every time it rains. New roof screens and vinyl’s cleaned up looking like new. Now I can enjoy my room year round. No worries how hot the room will get. I was recommended by a neighbor here in South Creek as they had their room redone. The team was very thorough and made sure everything was done perfectly. I would highly recommend him and his team from back porch designs

Dave and his team built us a beautiful screen room. They created exactly what our concept drawings depicted. Its sturdy, well built, stylish, and we look forwards to years of enjoyment. His team are professional, fast, and efficient. Additionally, they built a vinyl garbage can enclosure. Definitely exceeded expectations. Additionally, I could not find a contractor in the Myrtle Beach area that would build me a screen room with a screen roof (i.e. a lanai). I knew I had to find someone with Florida roots, and Dave's extensive experience building these types of structures in Florida was perfect for what I wanted.

I had the pleasure of dealing with David and his team to do work at my house. I needed new screens and he also replaced my vinyl windows at the top with glass and it came out great. I would highly recommend him and his company for your all your back porch needs. I can't believe how great it looks.

David is a great guy. Very trustworthy and kind, thoughtful, honest and willing to do whatever it takes to make his customers happy. My friend and I have worked with him on many different projects and he has never let me down or annoyed me to death. Thank you BackPorch for being a great company.

I highly recommend Back Porch Designs. They installed a porch enclosure for us and it was done professionally, courteously and as promised. David and his whole crew were a pleasure to work with from the initial design, product selection through installation and one minor leak which was repaired quickly. Hats off. Wife loves her new "she shed". Thanks David, etal. Mark & Patti
