Transform sloped yards and create usable outdoor spaces with expertly built retaining walls and masonry structures.
Retaining walls do more than look good. They hold back soil on sloped properties, prevent erosion, and create level areas where you can build patios, gardens, or play spaces. Without proper retaining walls, heavy rain washes away soil and damages your property. A well-built wall protects your investment and adds usable space to your yard.
We specialize in concrete and masonry retaining walls for residential and commercial properties throughout Brea. Our team understands soil mechanics, drainage requirements, and building codes. We design walls that handle the pressure from soil and water behind them. Whether you need a small garden wall or a large engineered retaining system, we have the expertise to build it right.
Different sites need different wall types. The right choice depends on wall height, soil conditions, drainage needs, and your budget. We evaluate your property and recommend the best solution for your specific situation.
Concrete block walls offer strength and versatility. We use interlocking blocks designed specifically for retaining walls. These blocks come in various colors and textures to match your landscape design. The hollow cores allow us to add reinforcing steel and concrete for extra strength on taller walls. Block walls work well for heights from 2 to 8 feet and can be built in straight runs or curves.
Poured concrete walls provide maximum strength for challenging sites. We build forms, install reinforcing steel, and pour solid concrete walls that handle heavy loads. These walls work best for commercial properties or residential sites with severe slopes. We can apply decorative finishes or stamped patterns to the face of poured walls for visual appeal. Concrete walls last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Natural stone and brick walls bring timeless beauty to your landscape. We build traditional mortared stone walls and dry-stack walls depending on your preferences. Stone walls work particularly well for shorter heights and garden areas. Brick walls complement classic home styles and create elegant transitions between yard levels. These walls cost more than block or poured concrete but deliver unmatched character and charm.
A retaining wall is only as good as its foundation and drainage system. We do not cut corners on the parts you cannot see. Every wall we build starts with proper excavation and a solid base. We install drainage pipes and gravel backfill to prevent water pressure from building up behind the wall.
For taller walls over 4 feet, we often work with structural engineers to ensure the design meets all safety requirements. We obtain necessary permits and schedule inspections as required. Our crews build walls level and plumb, with proper setbacks and tie-ins to existing structures. We backfill carefully using the right materials to support the wall and promote drainage.
After completing your retaining wall, we can help with the surrounding landscape. Many clients add concrete patios or walkways in the newly leveled areas behind their walls. We coordinate with landscapers to ensure everything ties together beautifully. The result is a functional outdoor space that enhances your property and stands the test of time.
