Retaining Walls
Concrete retaining walls across San Diego County
A retaining wall is a structural element. We size them by what they hold back, soil type, height, surcharge from a driveway above, not by what looks tough. Walls under 4 feet are usually permit-exempt. Above 4 feet they need engineering, inspections, and a contractor who has built them before.
What's included in this service?
- Poured-in-place concrete walls with engineered rebar schedule
- CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls with grout and rebar fill
- Engineered footings sized to wall height and soil
- Drainage: gravel backfill, weep holes, perforated drain pipe
- Stepped walls and tiered walls for steep grades
- Permit drawings and inspection coordination
When do you need this service?
- Hillside lot needs grade separation for a yard or driveway
- Soil is sloughing onto a walkway or patio
- Existing wood or block wall is leaning, cracking, or failing
- Adding a flat building pad to a sloped lot
- Driveway needs a wall to hold back the cut bank
