Retaining wall repair, before it gives way.
Straightening, rebuilding and re-draining leaning, cracked or bulging walls in stone, block and brick.
- Typical timeline: 3 days to 3 weeks
- Cause: Drainage and base issues
- Reinforcement: Geogrid, steel, tiers
What it is, and why it matters.
Retaining walls fail slowly, then suddenly. A bulge, a lean or a crack is the soil pushing harder than the wall can hold, usually because water is trapped behind it. We find the cause, take the wall apart where needed, rebuild the base and drainage and relay the wall with proper reinforcement.
Around Nashville and Middle Tennessee we repair and rebuild natural stone, block and timber-to-masonry transitions, and add steps, caps and landscape tie-ins so the finished wall looks better than the original.

Retaining Wall Repair: common questions
Can a leaning wall be pushed back?
Rarely. A leaning wall almost always has to be taken down and rebuilt on a better base with drainage. Pushing it back without fixing the cause only delays failure.
How do I know if my wall is in danger?
Look for bulging, horizontal cracks, leaning, gaps at the top and soil washing out. If you see any of these, have it checked before heavy rain.
