Retaining Walls
A retaining wall is only as good as what you cannot see: the footing, the drainage, and the reinforcement behind the face. We build segmental block, natural boulder, and welded wire walls that turn unusable slopes into level, usable ground.
Signs you need this
- A slope too steep to mow, play on, or build on
- Soil washing onto your driveway, patio, or foundation
- An existing wall that is leaning, bulging, or cracking
- You need level ground for a yard, parking pad, or addition
What's included
- On-site evaluation of soil, water flow, and wall height
- Coordination with licensed engineers for walls over 4 feet
- Compacted stone footing with a perforated drain pipe
- Geogrid reinforcement and clean stone backfill
- Segmental block, boulder, or welded wire wall systems
- Final grading and site cleanup
What goes in the ground
Our Standard Sub-Surface SRW Mechanics
Every segmental retaining wall we construct across North Georgia relies on crucial sub-surface mechanics to ensure permanent structural stability.
- 1
Compacted Base Pad
Native soil subgrade excavated and topped with a mechanically compacted #57 or dense-graded crushed stone leveling pad to eliminate settling.
- 2
Hydrostatic Drainage Core
A 4-inch perforated footing drain pipe embedded in clean #57 stone and wrapped in non-woven filter fabric to channel groundwater away from the wall face.
- 3
Biaxial Geogrid Matrix
High-tensile biaxial geogrid layers horizontally embedded between block courses and backfill lifts, locking the soil mass directly into the wall face.
