Just to respond to the many additional questions. I am doing a retaining wall which is in close proximity to my house. The wall will vary in height but most of it is close to 12 ft. I got quotes from Henderson and Coker and another concrete wall source, and they were both slightly less expensive than GeoStone. Neither concrete wall was stamped or stained (colored). I decided on GeoStone since it was only slighly more expensive, has a nice pattern or look, comes in the choice of 7 colors and is considered as sturdy if not better than a concrete wall in structural strength. I beleve Geo has actually put in walls well over 50 ft. high.

The cost for my job with GeoStone is $21,00 per foot. Therefore, I would guestimate the plain concrete was close to $20 per foot for my effort,, but there is a difference in jobs to include excavation differences and difficulty to access the spot or location of the wall.

In my case, I had a strong preference for the appearance along with the strength.

This appears to be a good time for a good price. One contractor said he had 20 jobs lined up, and all but 7 have been delayed by tthe custormers. He stated they were all developers holding due to the current slow market.
