Walls Built to Hold

A retaining wall that isn’t properly engineered will eventually fail, especially in Colorado Springs where soil moisture and freeze thaw cycles put ongoing pressure on anything holding back a grade change. We build walls with proper drainage and reinforcement to handle that pressure over the long term. In addition to functional retaining walls, we build sitting walls that double as seating around patios and outdoor living spaces, combining structural function with a finished, intentional look. We assess your slope, soil, and drainage needs before recommending wall height, footing depth, and reinforcement, since these all affect how the wall performs over time.

Why Drainage Is Critical Behind Retaining Walls

Water pressure building up behind a retaining wall without proper drainage is one of the leading causes of wall failure in Colorado Springs. We design drainage into every wall rather than treating it as an afterthought.

A sitting wall can define the edge of a patio or outdoor living area while providing extra seating. These pair well with our concrete patio service for a cohesive design.

Retaining Walls on Foothill Properties

Properties near the foothills often have more significant grade changes than lots on the plains, which means retaining walls in these areas typically need additional engineering attention to footing depth and drainage capacity.
