Retaining Walls, Natural Stone and Block in Waukesha, WI

Waukesha's heavier clay is exactly the soil that fails a wall. The clear stone chimney and drain outlet matter more here than the block you pick off the sample board.

FAQ

Retaining Walls in Waukesha

Can you rebuild a wall that is already leaning?

Usually. We take it apart, find out why it moved (almost always base or drainage), fix that and rebuild. Sometimes the existing stone can be reused.

How tall can a wall be?

Height limits and permit requirements vary by municipality, and taller walls need reinforcement. We tell you at the estimate what your wall needs.
