WALL RETENTION
When a retaining wall fails — or is about to — you don't have time for contractors who treat it like a landscaping job. Engineered Retaining Walls® specializes in structurally engineered segmental block, modular block, and boulder retaining walls designed to outlast decades of freeze-thaw cycles and the heavy rainfXall conditions of the Southern Appalachians. Every wall we build is designed by a licensed professional engineer, permitted where required by North Carolina, Georgia, or Tennessee law, and inspected on-site during construction. Whether you need emergency retaining wall repair, full replacement after a collapse, or a new wall to protect your home from slope movement — we engineer it right the first time.
North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee require licensed engineering design and on-site inspection for any retaining wall over 4 feet or any project over $26,000. Most contractors walk away from these jobs. We specialize in them — design through final certification, all in-house.
GEO WALLS
Not every slope problem requires a retaining wall — and recommending one when it isn't necessary is how some contractors add $50,000 to your invoice. Our geotechnical division uses 3D terrain modeling to evaluate whether engineered fill compaction is a smarter, more cost-effective solution for your site.
When the terrain allows, our crews use bulldozers, excavators, skid-steers, and compactors to build stable pads and repair steep slopes using fill compacted in 1-foot lifts — engineering solid, stable ground rather than bracing it from the outside. We have covered completely failed retaining walls using this method, saving clients $30,000 to $80,000 compared to full demolition and wall replacement with gravel backfill.
If a Geo Wall solution is appropriate for your site, we will tell you. If a retaining wall is what you need, we will tell you that too. Our engineers recommend what works — not what costs more.
HARDSCAPES
A retaining wall project isn't complete until the surrounding space is finished right. Engineered Retaining Walls® designs and installs contractor-grade hardscapes built for the specific demands of Western NC mountain properties — elevation change, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy seasonal rainfall, and the unstable soils common to hillside lots.Our paver patios, natural stone walkways, retaining wall steps, fire pit areas, and driveways are built on properly excavated, compacted crusher-run bases with precision screeding, edge restraints, and plate compaction. Every installation is engineered to drain correctly, stay level through seasonal ground movement, and complement the structural integrity of your wall.
We do not outsource hardscape work to landscaping subcontractors. It is built by the same licensed crew that builds your wall — held to the same structural standard.
