Retaining Walls
Most retaining walls do not fail because of the block. They fail because of water and a weak base. Water builds up behind the wall, the ground freezes, and the wall gets pushed out a little more every winter.
We build every wall on a compacted stone base, with drainage stone and pipe behind it so water has a way out. That is how a wall stays straight on a Washington County hillside. We also rebuild old timber and block walls that have started to lean.
How We Work
We check the height, the soil and where the water comes from before we pick a wall.
We excavate and compact a stone base. This is the part that decides if the wall lasts.
Block goes up course by course, with drainage stone and pipe behind it.
Backfill, caps, steps if you want them, and clean beds or stone around the finished wall.
