Walls built with the house
In newer neighborhoods, retaining walls are often built quickly during construction, sometimes with little drainage or with clay backfill. In the first few years they can begin to lean, shed blocks or crack at the corners. If your home is fairly new, check what your builder's warranty covers. A contractor can tell you whether a section can be reset or the wall needs to be rebuilt with gravel backfill and a drain.
Two counties
Fletcher is in Henderson County, so permits there go through different offices than Arden and the rest of Buncombe County. Your contractor should know which applies.
