Retaining Walls in Franklin, NC
On a Western North Carolina hillside, a wall is what lets you use the slope. We build retaining walls to hold the earth — for the years after, not just the day they are finished.

The problem
If a hillside, driveway, or building pad on your property needs the slope held, a wall is what makes the ground usable.
- A bank that wants to move when the ground gets wet.
- A pad or drive that needs a wall before you can use the ground.
- A slope sitting above a road or a building.
How the job goes
- 1Look at the slopeWe see what the wall has to hold and how water moves on the hill.
- 2Prepare the baseThe footing is right before the first course goes down.
- 3Build the wallWe set it to hold the hill through the weather, not just the first season.
- 4Grade the waterWe shape the ground so water does not sit behind the wall.
