Panorama builds retaining walls and seat walls throughout Wilmington and New Castle County. A retaining wall is a structural element holding back saturated soil, and it fails for one of three reasons every time: no drainage behind it, an inadequate base beneath it, or the wrong backfill. We build for all three.
Walls over four feet, or walls carrying a surcharge like a driveway above them, get engineered and permitted. We will tell you when your project crosses that line rather than building tall and hoping.
