Retaining Wall Construction for Stable, Usable Ground

M&M STONEHENGE Construction builds and repairs retaining walls for sloped yards, commercial grounds, and properties affected by soil movement, washout, or leaning wall sections after heavy rain. Crews plan stone or block wall placement, integrate drainage where needed, and reinforce outdoor edges to improve stability, reduce erosion, and reclaim usable space. Clients work with one contractor experienced in masonry, hardscape, concrete, and outdoor construction across the Portland metropolitan area.

Site Review and Wall Planning

Crews assess slope conditions, soil pressure, access, wall height, and drainage needs before recommending stone or block retaining wall placement.

Drainage-Aware Construction

Proper drainage integration helps reduce hydrostatic pressure, limit washout, protect nearby surfaces, and extend the service life of the retaining wall.

Repair for Failing Wall Sections

Leaning, cracked, or separated wall areas can be rebuilt or repaired to improve support, restore appearance, and stabilize the surrounding ground.

Retaining Wall Construction FAQs

Q. When do I need a new retaining wall instead of repairing an existing one?
A new retaining wall may be needed if the existing wall is leaning, cracking severely, washing out behind the wall, or no longer holding back the soil safely. A site evaluation can determine whether a failing section can be repaired or if replacement is the safer long-term option.
Q. What causes retaining walls to fail?
Retaining walls often fail because of poor drainage, soil movement, inadequate base preparation, or pressure from heavy rain and runoff. Water buildup behind the wall is a common issue, so proper drainage and grading are important parts of the construction plan.
Q. How are drainage and grading handled during retaining wall construction?
Drainage is typically integrated behind or around the wall to help move water away from the retained soil. Grading may also be adjusted so runoff flows properly and does not create erosion, washout, or added pressure against the wall.
Q. What factors affect the cost and scope of a retaining wall project?
The cost and scope depend on wall height, length, soil conditions, access to the area, excavation needs, drainage requirements, and the chosen stone or block material. The intended use of the space and the placement of the wall also affect how the project is designed and built.
