Built to last.
This retaining wall had begun to fail due to years of soil pressure and improper backfill. Instead of replacing the stone, we carefully dismantled the wall and rebuilt it using the existing natural Anamosa limestone, preserving its original character while giving it a new foundation.
The wall was reconstructed with a properly compacted base, clean drainage stone, perforated drain tile, and compacted backfill to ensure water is carried away from the wall instead of allowing pressure to build behind it.
The difference between a retaining wall that lasts and one that fails is what you can’t see. Proper drainage, a solid foundation, and quality installation are what keep a wall standing for decades.
We love bringing old walls back to life while building them the right way.
