SLOPE & GRADE SPECIALIZATION
ENGINEERED RETAINING WALLS & HILLSIDE TERRACING
Custom engineered retaining walls built to tame sloped desert lots, hold back shifting earth, and create usable, flat yard tiers in Kingman and Mohave County.
STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
RETAINING WALL SPECS
Retaining walls must counter lateral earth pressure. We build with heavy rebar cages, deep keyed footings, and continuous drainage systems.
Keyed Concrete Footings
Poured wide-trench footings with engineered shear keys locked into bedrock and virgin desert soil to eliminate sliding and overturning.
- ✓ 18" to 36" wide reinforced footings
- ✓ Embedded vertical rebar dowels
- ✓ Keyed shear trenching
Custom Radius & Curves
Masterful curve cutting and radius block setting that conforms naturally to natural property contours, driveways, and hillside cuts.
- ✓ Smooth sweeping radius transitions
- ✓ Integrated pillar columns & steps
- ✓ Enhanced lateral arch strength
Hydrostatic Drainage
Continuous 4" perforated French drain pipe wrapped in filter fabric and backfilled with crushed angular rock to prevent hydraulic pressure buildup.
- ✓ Washed rock drainage chimney
- ✓ Schedule 40 PVC weep pipes
- ✓ Heavy-duty filter fabric wrap
Terraced Tiered Walls
On steep inclines, multi-tiered stepped walls distribute earth pressure across terraces, creating level planter beds and usable yard space.
- ✓ Setback tier spacing for stability
- ✓ Integrated landscape steps
- ✓ Soil erosion control
Core Grouted Cells
Every cell under active soil load is fully grouted with 3,000 PSI high-slump masonry grout and heavy Grade 60 #5 steel bars.
- ✓ Solid grouted cores on retaining sides
- ✓ Overlapping splice tie-ins
- ✓ Horizontal bond beams at every course step
Pillar & Fence Posts
Built-in masonry pilasters and anchor pockets ready for custom iron railings, chain link posts, or privacy view fence additions.
- ✓ Heavy structural block pillars
- ✓ Embedded steel post sleeves
- ✓ Architectural cap finishes
FEATURED JOB EVIDENCE
CURVED HILLSIDE TERRACE IN MOHAVE COUNTY
This complex hillside stabilization project required a sweeping radius lower retaining wall to secure the driveway cut, paired with an upper terraced wall featuring integrated fence pillar posts.
