How much does hardscaping cost?
Hardscaping costs can vary widely depending on the materials used, design complexity, region, and labor costs. On average, hardscaping projects can range from $15 to $50 per square foot but can go higher for more intricate or high-end materials. Labor typically constitutes 50-70% of the total cost. The project’s complexity (e.g., elaborate patterns, leveling, grading) will increase labor costs and add fire pits, retaining walls, built-in seating, and more. At Coastal Hardscapes, we offer custom pricing packages that can fit your budget!

Pavers (Concrete/Stone): $10 to $30 per square foot
Natural Stone (Flagstone, Bluestone): $15 to $40 per square foot.
Brick: $10 to $20 per square foot concrete
Slabs: $5 to $15 per square foot
Gravel or Crushed Stone: $3 to $8 per square foot
Wood (for decking or pergolas): $15 to $25 per square foot
Note this is an approximate average for costs of materials and do not factor labor or installation.

Common Retaining Wall Questions
1. How much does a retaining wall cost in Savannah, GA?
Retaining wall costs in Savannah typically range from $1,200 to $40,000 or more. All of this, of course, depends on height, length, the hardscaping materials, engineering requirements, and drainage needs. The average cost of a hardscaping retaining wall in the area is between $3,000 and $7,000 for a professionally installed wall.
Smaller decorative garden walls are on the lower end at about $25 per linear foot, while structural retaining walls that manage slope, erosion, or elevation changes fall into higher ranges and can cost closer to $50 per linear foot.
In Savannah, due to the coastal soil conditions, proper base preparation, reinforcement, and drainage systems all impact pricing and require more labor and planning. The taller and more structural the wall, the more planning and materials are required. Retaining wall prices from Coastal Hardscapes include materials and labor, and every project is designed specifically for your property’s needs and long-term stability.

2. What is the best retaining wall material for Savannah’s climate?
The best retaining wall materials for Savannah are engineered concrete block systems and natural stone (they can match your patio paver selection). Both hold up well against heavy rain, humidity, and coastal soil movement when installed correctly; however, we recommend a block system in most cases for longevity!
Concrete block systems provide structural strength, long-term durability, and clean, modern lines. Natural stone offers a timeless, high-end appearance that complements coastal Georgia homes beautifully. However, drainage and proper reinforcement matter more than the material itself. A well-designed wall with correct base prep and drainage will outperform a poorly installed wall every time.
3. Do retaining walls in Savannah need drainage systems?
Yes, almost every retaining wall in Savannah requires proper drainage. Coastal Georgia’s heavy rain and flat-to-sloped lots can create hydrostatic pressure behind walls if water has nowhere to go.
Without drainage, walls can lean, crack, or fail over time. That’s why professional retaining wall installation includes gravel backfill, drainage pipe, grading, and sometimes surface water management solutions.
A properly built retaining wall protects your Savannah/Pooler property, prevents erosion, and stabilizes your landscape for years to come.
4. How long does it take to build a retaining wall in Savannah?
Most retaining wall projects with Coastal Hardscapes take 3 to 10 days from start to finish. Smaller garden walls move quickly, while larger structural walls requiring excavation, drainage systems, or reinforcement take longer.
Because every property in Savannah, Pooler, and Richmond Hill has different soil and elevation conditions, timelines vary based on scope and complexity, as well as on additional hardscaping options like a patio or fire pit!
The goal is always the same: build it once, build it correctly, and ensure it performs for decades in coastal Georgia conditions.
