Concrete Retaining Walls

Concrete Retaining Walls

Hold back Colorado's shifting soils with engineered walls.

Denver's terrain requires serious retaining solutions. We build reinforced concrete walls up to 6 feet tall without engineer approval - perfect for tiered landscaping in Highlands Ranch hillside properties.

Every wall includes weep holes and gravel backfill to handle our heavy spring rains. For visible front-yard walls, we offer form-lined finishes that resemble natural stone without the maintenance of actual boulders.

Allow 1-2 weeks depending on wall length. We coordinate with landscapers to ensure proper drainage behind the wall, preventing the bulges seen in older Cherry Creek neighborhood installations.

Our Process

  1. 01 Step 1: Dig footer trench below frost line (36" in Denver)
  2. 02 Step 2: Set rebar grid with vertical supports every 4 feet
  3. 03 Step 3: Pour concrete in lifts for proper consolidation
  4. 04 Step 4: Install drainage system with filter fabric
