Retaining Wall Construction Sandy Springs | Atlanta, Roswell & Dunwoody

Benefits of retaining walls

• Building a retaining wall offers several advantages. 
• It can transform a sloped, unusable backyard into a flat, functional space for your patio, garden or play area. 
• It prevents soil erosion before it harms your lawn, driveway, and foundation. 
• Proper drainage is built in from the start, preventing the early failures typical with walls that do not include this. 
• We take care of engineering and permitting for walls over 4 feet as required by counties. 
• Your choice of material can be block, concrete, stone, or timber, to suit your yard.

Our Approach

1. We assess your slope, soil type, and drainage before recommending a material or wall design. 
2. When walls exceed four feet, we create engineered drawings and request the necessary permit from your county. Before any wall material are placed, we excavate a footing trench to the specified depth and install a compacted gravel base. 
3. As we build the wall, we install a drainage pipe and backfill the gravel to give the water somewhere to go. 
4. As we go, we build a wall block by block, taking diagonal measurements. Our grading of the area around the finished wall enables water to run away from the wall. 
5. We walk the final wall with you and make sure it passes any county inspection.
