A retaining wall is the right choice when you have a slope that is actively losing soil, a significant grade change, or ground that needs to be held at two different elevations. Regrading alone works for minor drainage corrections without a steep drop.

Poor drainage behind the wall is the most common cause of failure in Lincoln. Water builds up in clay-heavy soil, creates pressure, and pushes the wall outward, especially during spring thaw.

Yes, we build walls on steep slopes in Lincoln by evaluating the grade, soil load, and drainage needs before selecting the right wall system and reinforcement method for your site.

Nebraska's freeze-thaw cycles expand water in soil and push against walls that lack proper base depth or drainage. Walls built with correct footing depth and gravel backfill hold up through repeated winter cycles.
