Residential Retaining Walls

Residential retaining walls are used to maintain ground stability for structures above and below the retaining wall. In metro Atlanta, a licensed retaining wall contractor is required for new or replacement retaining walls over four feet in height. Retaining walls which are leaning, leaking during rainfall or have collapsed demand immediate attention.

New Retaining Walls

New retaining walls stop or prevent soil erosion while creating even functional spaces where the ground was too sloped for use. Swimming pools, paver patios and other outdoor living features are among the most popular requests for new retaining wall construction. New residential retaining walls must be carefully planned and designed for safety. Building codes for residential retaining walls vary; however, it is crucial to hire a reputable retaining wall expert to ensure your retaining wall is certified and your investment increases your property value.

Retaining Wall Replacement

Homeowners without residential retaining wall replacement experience may find the process expensive and time consuming. But, the importance of keeping your property stable cannot be overstated. The foundation of your home may begin shifting and cracking causing far costlier problems. Please contact Retaining Walls and Concrete immediately upon realizing a retaining wall on your property needs replacement.

Failed Retaining Walls

This wall was built by a company that at best was inexperienced or at worst unethical.

As you can see, none of the soil reinforcement or water management steps were taken to ensure a successful earth retention wall system.

Even poorly built walls may survive so long as there is very little rainfall. However many metro Atlanta consumers who opted for cheaper alternatives to professional retaining wall companies are now left with leaning and failed retaining walls.
