Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

PROPER PREPARATION, DRAINAGE, AND PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

EXCAVATION & BASE PREPARATION

We excavate the wall area, establish the proper grade, and install a buried leveling pad to create a solid foundation.

COMPACTED AGGREGATE BASE

Crushed stone aggregate is placed and thoroughly compacted to provide a stable, level base for the retaining wall.

STRUCTURAL BLOCK INSTALLATION

Retaining wall blocks are carefully laid, leveled, and secured using the proper pin or interlocking system for strength and alignment.

DRAINAGE & BACKFILL

Clean drainage stone and geotextile fabric are installed behind the wall to manage water, improve drainage, and help ensure long-term stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do retaining walls need drainage?

Yes. Proper drainage is critical to the life of a retaining wall. We install clean drainage stone and appropriate drainage systems behind the wall to help prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up and pushing against the structure.

Why do retaining walls lean, crack, or fail over time?

Common causes include poor drainage, an improperly prepared base, inadequate backfill, soil movement, and insufficient reinforcement. Proper construction from the foundation up helps prevent these problems.

Do retaining walls require geogrid reinforcement?

It depends on the wall’s height, design, soil conditions, and loads behind it. When required, geogrid is installed in layers behind the wall to reinforce the soil and provide additional structural stability.

What types of retaining walls do you install?

We install segmental block systems such as Cambridge MaytRx, along with natural fieldstone, boulder, masonry, and veneer-finished retaining walls. Different colors, textures, and cap styles are also available.

Do retaining walls require permits or engineering?

Requirements vary depending on wall height, location, property conditions, and local building codes. Taller or structurally complex retaining walls may require permits and engineered plans.

Can a retaining wall create more usable yard space?

Yes. Retaining walls can transform steep or difficult slopes into flatter, more functional areas for lawns, gardens, patios, walkways, and other outdoor living spaces.
