Our Retaining Wall Installation Process
Step 1: Evaluation & Custom Wall Design
We assess slopes, soil conditions, access, drainage needs, and utilities. Then we create a wall design engineered for your yard and the Texas climate.
Step 2: Excavation & Site Preparation
We dig out the wall footprint, remove soil or rock, and prepare the area for a stable foundation.
Step 3: Install Base & First Course
A compacted crushed-stone base is installed and leveled. The first course of blocks is set perfectly — this step determines the wall’s final strength and alignment.
Step 4: Build Wall Structure & Reinforcement
We stack each layer with proper setback, install geogrid reinforcement as needed, and create the structural integrity required for height and load.
Step 5: Drainage & Backfill
We install drainage rock, perforated pipe, and compacted backfill to prevent pressure buildup and ensure long-term stability.
Step 6: Finish Wall & Final Walkthrough
We install caps, lighting (optional), steps (if needed), clean the area, and complete a final walkthrough to ensure your wall looks perfect and is built to last.
