Local conditions ## Structural Retaining Walls for Lake Norman Properties - Lake Norman hillside and lakefront lots frequently exceed the height where gravity walls are safe. - Local jurisdictions typically require engineering and permits above four feet. - Saturated clay adds enormous load — drainage design is a structural element, not a finish detail.
