I will design a segmental or gravity retaining wall for your landscape
About this Gig
Not every backyard wall needs a full PE-reviewed engineered section most residential retaining walls tied to a patio, pool, or grading change just need a properly sized gravity or segmental block design so the contractor can build it right and the homeowner (or inspector) has something in writing.
I size the wall for your soil and slope conditions, specify block/course setup or gravity dimensions, and hand you a simple, buildable drawing without the cost or turnaround of a full structural submission.
What you get:
- Right-sized gravity or segmental block wall cross-section
- Base prep and drainage backfill notes
- Simple elevation for the contractor to build from
- Written sizing rationale so you can explain it to the client
This is built for landscapers and hardscape contractors, not architects plain language, fast turnaround, buildable output.

FAQ
Is this the same as the PE-stamped engineered wall gig?
No — this is the simpler, non-stamped sizing service for smaller residential gravity/segmental walls. If your jurisdiction requires a PE stamp, check out my engineered retaining wall gig instead.
Can you work from a photo of the slope or a rough sketch?
Yes, photos, a tape-measured sketch, or a landscape plan all work, I'll ask clarifying questions if I need more detail.
Do you size for surcharge (pool, patio load) above the wall?
Yes, tell me what's above and behind the wall (pool, patio, fence, slope) and I'll factor it into the sizing.
Will this pass inspection if my county asks for something in writing?
For most residential gravity/segmental walls under typical height thresholds, this written sizing is sufficient — but always confirm your local threshold, since some jurisdictions require full engineering above a certain height.
