Retaining walls
On sloped Georgia lots, a retaining wall is how you get flat, usable space. We build walls with the base, backfill and drainage that keep them standing.
Most retaining walls fail because water builds up behind them. We dig a proper footing, put drainage stone and pipe behind the wall and backfill in compacted layers.
For anything from a low garden wall to a wall that levels off a backyard, we’ll talk through materials and height with you. Taller walls may need an engineer, and we’ll tell you if yours does.

Retaining walls questions
Does my wall need an engineer?
Taller walls, or walls holding up a driveway or building, often require an engineered design and a permit. We’ll tell you when your wall crosses that line.
What wall material is best?
Segmental block is consistent and clean; natural boulders suit rural and wooded settings. Both last when built with good drainage.
Why is my existing wall leaning?
Usually trapped water behind it or a weak base. A leaning wall typically needs to be rebuilt with proper drainage rather than patched.
