Retaining Wall

Alamo Heights, Texas
San Antonio (Bexar County)
Retaining walls are not just aesthetic landscape additions; they are part of a critical foundation management system for properties built on a slope. They prevent severe soil erosion by improving drainage around concrete foundations.
Retaining walls are typically made with concrete, natural stone or treated timber. For this project, concrete was the material of choice, providing adequate tension and strength for the clay-based soil in this Alamo Heights, Texas neighborhood. Our team handled every aspect of the job, from excavation, base preparation, forms and supports to concrete pouring, back fill and compaction.
At Alamo City Foundation Repair, retainer walls are a direct extension of our core business. Jack knows San Antonio, where flooding from intense rainfall or prolonged stretches of drought can wreak havoc on slabs. He will not only level your house and repair your concrete foundation, he will make the proper recommendations, like a separate retainer wall or in-ground drainage system.
Our team will prepare a stable base for your drainage project and recommend the best building and filler material to improve the long-term durability of your property.
