Foundations on rolling hills, Belle Meade.
The Highland Rim is rolling red-clay country with long slopes and plenty of rain. Slopes make water, soil creep and retaining walls part of the foundation story. Hillside lots, walkout basements and long driveways need good drainage and walls that are built to hold back soil, not just look good.
Belle Meade is about 6 miles from downtown Nashville, in west Nashville.
Slopes and soil creep
Soil on a hillside moves slowly downhill and pushes on walls and footings.
Water management
Gutters, grading and drains keep clay dry and stable.
Retaining walls
Failing walls are rebuilt or braced before they push the yard into the house.

Why is my retaining wall leaning?
