[quote=Anonymous]If it is over 4 feet it will need to be engineered. In my state that wall would require a permit. Even without I would suggest you at least have an engineer look at it. Call a concrete/foundation company - tell them what you want. Cost will be determined by design. If its retaining you will need footings and walls to the frost line. They may spec steel (rebar). Figure 300.00 a cubic yard in place plus steel plus excavation (and backfill) So, where I build you would have a footing a foot deep plus 2.5-3 ft of wall plus your 4.5 feet of wall. Figure 2 yards for the footings. And figuring a 12 inch wall another 6.5 yards for wall. So, call it 9 yards @ 300 = 2700.00 plus excavation, steel and permits/engineer stamp. Hard to say without looking at your site but figure 6-8k. [/quote]
