How It Works

A typical 6-foot block wall costs $25-45 per linear foot for materials and $40-75 per linear foot installed. Major cost factors: wall height (exponential, not linear since taller walls need stronger footers and more reinforcement), rebar and grout filling, and whether the wall is structural or decorative. Most jurisdictions require permits for walls over 4 feet. Retaining walls over 4 feet typically need engineered plans. Always check local codes before building.
