Overview

Engineered, Not Stacked.

Retaining walls fail in one of two ways: the footing was not deep or wide enough, or there was no drainage behind the wall and hydrostatic pressure pushed it over. Both are invisible from the outside, which is exactly why cheap walls get built.

We pour real footings below grade, reinforce block cells with rebar and grout, and backfill with gravel and drain pipe so water has somewhere to go. Still standing straight in fifteen years.

Our Process

How We Build It.

Same sequence every time. It is the reason the work is still flat years later.

Assess the Load

We look at grade change, soil and drainage, then size the footing and reinforcement for what the wall actually has to hold.

Footing

Trench excavated below grade, rebar tied, and a continuous footing poured — the part that decides whether the wall survives.

Lay & Reinforce

Block laid to line and level, cells reinforced with vertical rebar and grouted solid where the design requires it.

Drain & Finish

Gravel backfill and perforated drain installed behind the wall, then cap, stucco or stone veneer applied as specified.

Why It Matters

What You Actually Get.

Drainage Behind Every Wall Gravel backfill and drain pipe relieve the water pressure that pushes unreinforced walls over.
Doubles as Seating Seat walls and planter walls turn a grade change into usable outdoor furniture instead of a plain barrier.
Matches Your Hardscape Block, stone veneer, stucco or exposed masonry finished to tie into the pavers and concrete around it.

Frequently Asked

Questions About This Work.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?

In most Southern California cities, walls over a certain height — often three or four feet — require a permit and sometimes engineering. We will tell you where your project lands and handle the process.

How long do block walls last?

A properly footed, reinforced and drained block wall will outlast most of the house. The failures you see are almost always missing footings or missing drainage.

Can you repair an existing wall that is leaning?

Sometimes. If the footing is intact and the lean is from drainage we can often correct it. If the footing failed, rebuilding is usually cheaper than chasing repairs.
