Retaining walls
Most wall failures are a drainage problem wearing a wall's face.
Segmental block, natural stone or boulder, engineered for the soil actually behind it — not a generic spec pulled off a shelf.
What we build
Installation and repair.
Retaining Wall Installation
Quoted per linear footSegmental block, natural stone or boulder, engineered for the actual height and the actual soil behind it — a wall over 4 feet needs a permit in most of our service area, and we pull it.
Retaining Wall Replacement & Repair
Quoted per projectA leaning or bulging wall is almost always a drainage failure behind it, not a block problem. We fix what pushed it before we rebuild the face.

Signs your wall needs a look.
Check most of this from the yard in ten minutes.
Signs your retaining wall needs a look
- Leaning or bulging outward, even slightly
- Horizontal cracks running across the face
- Gaps opening up at the base or between blocks
- Water seeping or pooling at the bottom of the wall after rain
- Soil or mulch washing out from behind or underneath it
- Block or stone courses shifting out of line with each other
Questions
What homeowners ask about walls.
- Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Georgia?
- Usually not under 4 feet. Once a wall crosses 4 feet, most of our service-area counties require a permit and engineered drawings, and we handle that as part of the project — it is real added cost on a taller wall, not padding.
- My retaining wall is leaning. Is it too late to fix it?
- Depends how far it's gone, but usually no. A wall that's just starting to lean or crack is almost always a drainage problem behind it rather than a structural one — fix what's pushing on it, then rebuild the face. Left long enough, the wall itself has to come out.
