Retaining Walls That Hold the Grade for Good
A retaining wall fails from behind. Water builds up in the soil it’s holding, pressure grows, and the wall leans, bulges, and eventually lets go. Curb Apeal Systems builds and replaces residential retaining walls across metro Atlanta with the part most walls skip: drainage designed in from the start.
Signs Your Retaining Wall Is Failing
- Leaning or bowing away from the slope
- Horizontal cracks or separating blocks
- Soil washing out at the base after rain
- Water pooling behind the wall instead of draining through it
How We Build Them
Every wall starts with the soil: we evaluate the grade, the load, and where the water goes. Then we build on a compacted base with proper footing, drainage aggregate, and weep paths so pressure never builds behind the wall. The result is a wall that holds the dirt back for decades, not seasons.
Walls That Finish the Landscape
A retaining wall is usually the backdrop for everything else in the yard, so we build them to look as good as they perform — and they pair naturally with a new patio or walkway in the same project. Estimates are free and on-site, work is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty, and 0% in-house financing is available.
Planter Boxes & Garden Walls
The same block and concrete work that holds back a slope also builds planter boxes and low garden walls. If you want structure and curb appeal in the same pour, we build those too — ask when you schedule your quote.
