Retaining Wall Work We Do in Garland
Rebuilding a leaning wall
Where a wall is bulging or pulling apart, we deal with the water behind it rather than re-facing the symptom.
Cross-tie and timber replacement
Rotted ties out, engineered stone in, with the drainage the original wall never had.
Driveway and front-yard walls
Street-facing work where the stone has to look right as well as hold.
Foundation protection
Where runoff is moving soil toward the house, the wall is part of a drainage fix.
What Garland Ground Does to a Wall
Long-serving walls
Garland’s walls have usually done decades of work already. Replacement is generally better value than patching a wall that is losing.
Clay and water
Dallas County clay behind a wall with no drainage is a slow-motion failure. That is the problem we are usually fixing.
Varied neighborhoods
Garland is not one housing stock. The right wall for a fifties street is not the right wall for an eighties one.

Garland Retaining Wall Questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Garland?
It depends on the height of the wall and where it sits on your lot. Across DFW municipalities a wall over about four feet generally requires a permit and engineering, and lower walls often do not. We confirm what Garland asks for on your specific wall and make the submittal ourselves. It is inside the quoted price, not billed on top of it.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Garland?
Length, height, the stone you choose, how equipment reaches the site and whether a permit is needed all move the number. Most residential walls across Dallas County land between a few thousand dollars and the low five figures. Nathan writes you a fixed figure for your wall after seeing it, not a range, and that figure is what you pay.
Why do retaining walls fail in Garland?
Water, nearly every time. The ground here is deep Blackland Prairie clay, which swells after rain and shrinks hard through a Texas summer. That seasonal movement is the single most common reason walls here lean, bulge or start losing soil through the face. Being this close to Lake Ray Hubbard does not change the ground under your yard either. The walls here have already done decades of work. At that age a rebuild is usually better value than another repair on a wall that is losing.
Can you replace a rotting timber or cross-tie wall in Garland?
Yes, and it is among the most common jobs we take on. Replacing a tie wall while it is still standing costs meaningfully less than clearing a collapsed one along with the soil that came down with it, and it lets us build the drainage in properly rather than working around a failure.
Do you work in the areas around Garland?
Yes. We cover Garland and the communities next to it, including Richardson, Dallas and Plano, and Nathan travels to the site himself for both the quote and the build. If you are not sure whether you are inside the area, call and ask rather than guessing.
Garland and the Communities Around It
We build and replace retaining walls throughout Garland and the surrounding Dallas County area, and Nathan travels to the site himself for the quote and the work.
Need a pool taken out rather than a wall built? That is a different job with different equipment, and it has its own page.
