What It Is
Retaining Wall Installation
A retaining wall is an engineered structure that holds back soil and controls grade changes. We build them from concrete block, natural stone, boulders, or timber — sized and engineered for the load they need to manage.
Why It Matters
The right approach makes the difference.
A retaining wall can help manage a grade change and create usable space. Soil conditions, wall height, surcharge loads and drainage determine the design; engineering or approvals may be needed. Walls require inspection and maintenance, and should be planned with runoff rather than treated as a permanent cure for every slope problem.

How It Works
Our Process
Straightforward steps — no surprises, no shortcuts.
Engineering Assessment
We assess the height, soil type, and hydrostatic pressure to determine the right wall system — taller walls may require engineering stamped plans.
Excavation & Footing
We excavate, set a compacted gravel footing base, and bury the first course below grade for stability.
Wall Construction
We install courses with proper batter (lean into the hill), use geo-grid tie-backs on taller walls, and maintain drainage aggregate behind the wall.
Drainage & Backfill
Drainage pipe is installed behind the wall, gravel backfill placed and compacted, then the top is capped and finished.

Quick Answers
Common Questions
Q.Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Tennessee?
Requirements depend on the property jurisdiction, wall height as defined by the authority, soil, slopes and nearby loads or structures. A short wall is not automatically exempt. Confirm permit and engineering requirements with the City of Lebanon, City of Mt. Juliet or the applicable county authority before work starts.
Q.How long do retaining walls last?
A properly built concrete block or natural stone retaining wall lasts 20–50 years with minimal maintenance. The key is correct drainage behind the wall — standing water is what fails walls prematurely.
Q.Can you build a tiered wall system?
Yes. For large grade changes, we often build two or three terraced walls stepping up the slope rather than one very tall single wall — safer, more affordable, and visually attractive.
