Mission Retaining Wall

A Two-Part Retaining Wall Project

Solving Water Issues with Strong, Safe Retaining Walls

This project began with a customer concerned about her backyard, where constant water pooling was causing her wood retaining wall to fail. The unstable wall made her fearful for her dog’s safety and her elderly father, who enjoyed gardening in the space. After assessing the property, we identified that water runoff from the neighbor’s yard was the primary cause.

Our solution involved replacing the failing wall with new retaining walls equipped with proper drainage to manage water effectively. The customer was so impressed with the work that she later hired us to complete two additional retaining walls and a parking area at the front of her property in 2023.
