Retaining Walls
Block and stone walls built with the drainage and footing you cannot see
A premium take on retaining walls
A retaining wall holds back soil, and soil gets heavy when it is wet. Walls fail because someone skipped the footing, the rebar, the gravel backfill, or the drain line, and hydrostatic pressure did the rest. We pour a proper footing below grade, lay reinforced cinder block or segmental block to spec, backfill with drain rock, and run a perforated drain to daylight. Then we finish the face in stucco, stone veneer, or exposed block so a structural wall reads as part of the landscape instead of an engineering fix.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Poured, reinforced footings sized to the wall height
- Cinder block, segmental block, and stone-faced walls
- Gravel backfill and perforated drain to daylight
- Terraced walls for steep South Bay and Peninsula lots
- Seat walls, planter walls, and integrated steps
- Stucco, stone veneer, and cap finishes
