Why do retaining walls fail?

Common reasons include water building up behind the wall, poor base preparation or a wall that wasn't sized for the slope. That's why we look at drainage and grading along with the wall itself.

Do you build walls on lake properties?

Yes. Our work around Richfield and New London has included retaining walls on lake and golf course properties, along with steps, walkways and landscaping.

Retaining Walls That Solve a Slope, Not Just Decorate It.

A retaining wall holds back soil, controls erosion and can turn a slope into space you can actually use.

We build retaining walls for homeowners in Concord, Lake Norman and nearby communities, including lake and golf-course properties around Richfield and New London.

How We Approach It

Our systematic engineering and installation sequence:

01We look at the grade, soil and how water reaches the wall.

02We plan drainage behind and around the wall as part of the build.

03We tie the wall into steps, patios and planting so it looks like it belongs to the property.

It can be both, but the structural job comes first. A wall that holds back soil needs proper base preparation and drainage; decorative choices come after that.
