What it is, and why it matters.
A retaining wall holds soil that wants to move. The most common failure is water: without drainage behind it, the soil gets heavy and pushes. Walls lean, bulge and crack.
We assess the wall, relieve the water, then rebuild or brace it with proper base, geogrid and drainage, so it lasts.
Four things done right.
Drainage first
Gravel and drain pipe relieve the pressure.
Built on a base
Compacted footing course.
Geogrid
Reinforcement ties the wall into the soil.
Neat finish
The wall looks as good as it works.
