Concrete Retaining Walls in Kaysville
A retaining wall has one job, holding back a grade for years without leaning, cracking, or pushing out, and out here the frost and the clay soil make that harder than it looks. We build poured concrete retaining walls across Kaysville and Davis County to level a yard, hold a slope, or shore up a driveway or patio. We set a real footing below the frost line, reinforce the wall for the load behind it, and build in the drainage that keeps water from freezing and shoving the wall out. Tell us the grade you're working with and we'll walk it with you.
What's included
Retaining Walls, done the right way.
- Poured concrete retaining walls to hold a slope, level a yard, or shore up a driveway or patio.
- A footing set below the frost line and sized for the load the wall has to hold.
- Rebar sized and tied so the wall handles the pressure of the soil behind it.
- Drainage built in behind the wall, so water and frost don't build up and push it out.
- A finished face, plain or textured, that ties into the rest of your concrete.
Why drainage and footings decide it
A retaining wall fails when water and frost get behind it. Our clay soil holds water, and when that water freezes it expands and pushes on the wall, and a wall without drainage or a proper footing is what leans, cracks, and blows out. So we build for it: a footing below the frost line so the base doesn't heave, rebar sized for the load, and drainage behind the wall, gravel and a drain line, so water has somewhere to go instead of freezing against the concrete. That's the difference between a wall that holds for decades and one you're rebuilding in a few years.
