Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design Re: Have you ever had a retaining wall dispute with develope 6Apr 22, 2011 6:35 pm n&n02 I'm not quite sure if this is the same situation, but it sounds similar. We just had to suck it up and forgo $3k in additional retaining to level our backyard. Thanks for responding - it helps to know when you here of other people in the same type of situation and knowing that it is 'normal'. I did a bit of digging around and this seems to be one of the most contentious issues with the build process as you generally don't think about it until its too late.. anyway much like you guys... we will also suck up and pay the 3k that is going to cost us... how much did your quotes cost per/sqm?

Your builder is correct. With good structural engineering your home will be fine. We use piers on 100% of our builds even if they are founded… 1 1534 Thank you again Simeon..
