Retaining Walls · Snellville, GA
Concrete Retaining Walls in Snellville, GA
Have a slope that's hard to use or washing out? We build concrete retaining walls that hold back soil and make your yard more usable.
Retaining walls we build
Homeowners call us for walls like these:
- Walls that hold back a slope
- Garden and landscaping walls
- Walls that create a level spot for a patio or play area
- Low seat walls around a patio
- Replacing an old, leaning wall
What makes a wall last
A retaining wall holds back a lot of soil, so what's underneath matters. We build on a compacted base and set the wall right for the height and slope we find.
A well-built wall stays straight and level for years. A wall built on soft ground or with a weak base can lean, crack, or push out.
Drainage matters
Water that builds up behind a wall is the most common reason walls fail. We plan for water to escape so the wall isn't doing more work than it should.
We look at drainage on every wall project, including where water comes from above the wall and where it should go.
Permits and HOA
Some walls need a permit or HOA approval, and rules are different by city, county, and neighborhood. Check early so your project isn't delayed.
