Let Our Experts Design Your Retaining Walls

At Baldpates General Contracting, we specialize in designing and building custom retaining walls that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Retaining walls offer crucial benefits like erosion control, terracing sloped areas, and providing structural support for nearby structures. Whether you’re looking to create a garden space or prevent soil erosion, our team is here to deliver expert solutions.

Meticulous Site Analysis

Designing a durable retaining wall begins with a thorough site analysis. Our team evaluates factors like soil type, slope, and drainage needs. Soil plays a significant role in determining load-bearing capacity, and understanding the pressure it exerts helps ensure the wall’s structural integrity. We also consider water pressure, making sure the wall’s design accounts for proper drainage to prevent water buildup behind it, which can lead to failure.

Detailed Design Criteria

Retaining walls are made differently, depending on the client’s specific needs. That’s why we determine the appropriate height, thickness, and materials based on the expected load. Taller walls require stronger designs, while material selection depends on structural demands, aesthetic preferences, and local climate conditions.

We also handle all the necessary permits and follow local regulations, ensuring a smooth construction process. By collaborating with certified engineers, we guarantee a design that fits your budget while maintaining the highest quality.

Thorough Site Preparation

Prior to installation, we prepare the site by excavating the area and grading the land. This ensures a solid foundation for the wall, typically involving the installation of a graded aggregate base. Removing any vegetation in the area is also part of this process, laying the groundwork for a stable and durable retaining wall.

Material Placement According to Your Plan

We follow the detailed plans, whether provided by you or created by our engineers, for material placement. Any necessary changes will always be discussed with you first. After the installation, we clean up the site and offer ongoing inspections if requested. We also provide a one-year labor warranty for your peace of mind.
