Concrete retaining wall construction for erosion control in Martinez, GA

When Your Yard Needs More Than Just Landscaping

If your property has slopes, hills, or uneven ground, you know the challenges that come with it. Soil washes downhill when it rains. Flower beds erode. Parts of your yard are unusable because they are too steep. A well-built retaining wall solves all of these problems by holding the soil in place and creating level areas you can actually use.

At Precision Martinez Concrete, we design and build retaining walls that are engineered to handle the soil pressure on your specific property. This is not decorative garden edging. These are structural walls built with proper footings, reinforcement, and drainage so they perform their job for decades. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Martinez, GA who need real solutions for sloped terrain.

A retaining wall can also transform how your property looks. Terraced gardens, elevated patio areas, and defined outdoor spaces all become possible once you control the slope. Pair a retaining wall with a new concrete patio and you have an outdoor living space that works with your land instead of against it.

Wall and Masonry Services We Offer

Every retaining wall project starts with understanding your property's slope, soil type, and drainage situation. From there, we recommend the right type of wall and materials. Here is what we build:

  • Poured concrete retaining walls for maximum strength on steep slopes and tall walls
  • Concrete block walls that combine structural strength with a clean, finished look
  • Terraced wall systems that break a tall slope into manageable, attractive levels
  • Decorative seat walls and garden walls that add style and function to patios and gardens
  • Foundation protection walls that divert water and soil away from your home's foundation

Every wall we build includes proper drainage behind it, typically using gravel backfill and perforated pipe, because water pressure is the number one cause of retaining wall failure. We also build walls that support our slab and foundation work on sloped commercial and residential sites.

Why Engineering Matters for Retaining Walls

A retaining wall is not just a stack of blocks. It is a structural element that fights gravity every single day. The soil behind a retaining wall pushes against it constantly, and that pressure increases with the height of the wall and the amount of water in the soil. Build it wrong and it will lean, crack, or collapse.

We take the engineering side seriously. Walls over a certain height may require a permit and engineered plans, and we help you navigate that process. For all our walls, we dig a proper footer below the frost line, install reinforcement as needed, and make sure the drainage system behind the wall is working correctly before backfilling.

Do not trust this type of work to a general handyman. Get it done right the first time. Call us at (706) 560-3251 or visit our home page to learn about all our services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a retaining wall?+
Retaining walls hold back soil on sloped properties to prevent erosion and create level, usable space. They provide structural support for landscaping, create terraced areas, protect foundations from soil pressure, and improve property drainage. They also add visual definition to your yard and can significantly increase the usable area of a sloped lot.
How long do concrete retaining walls last?+
Properly designed and constructed concrete retaining walls can last 50 to 100 years. The longevity depends on correct engineering for your specific soil conditions, adequate drainage behind the wall, quality materials, and proper reinforcement. Regular inspection of the drainage system helps ensure the wall continues to perform as intended.
Do retaining walls need drainage?+
Yes, absolutely. Proper drainage behind a retaining wall is critical to its long-term performance. Without it, water pressure builds up behind the wall and can cause it to lean, crack, or fail entirely. We install a gravel drainage layer and perforated pipe behind every retaining wall we build to keep water from accumulating.
