About Columbus Retaining Wall

Columbus Retaining Wall is a free-estimate line for retaining walls in Columbus and the towns around it: segmental block walls, poured concrete walls, terraced walls, seat and garden walls, replacement of failing walls and steps built through walls. An independent local contractor does the work, with close attention to the parts of a wall you never see once it is finished.

Here is how it works. You send the basics: roughly how tall and long the wall is, what sits above it and whether an old wall is being replaced. The contractor calls to go over it, then visits to measure the slope, look at where water comes from and check what the wall has to carry. Your free estimate is based on that visit.

The service area covers Columbus and 31 nearby towns. On the north side that means Worthington, Powell and Westerville; on the south, Grove City, Obetz and Lockbourne; in the northwest, Hilliard, Dublin and Upper Arlington; and to the east, Gahanna, Reynoldsburg and Pataskala. Small villages such as Marble Cliff, Valleyview and Brice are included as well, along with Columbus neighborhoods from Clintonville to the Hilltop.

How it works

From first measurement to finished cap

  1. 1

    Measure the problem

    The slope, the height to be retained, anything sitting above the wall and the sources of water all get recorded before a design is chosen.

  2. 2

    Set the design

    Wall type, base depth, drainage and any geogrid follow from height and load, and tall or loaded walls are handed to an engineer to design.

  3. 3

    Excavate and set the base

    A trench is cut, a leveling pad is compacted, and the first course is set dead level and partly buried.

  4. 4

    Build, drain and backfill

    The wall rises with its drainage zone, and backfill is compacted in thin layers rather than dumped in all at once.

Describe Your Wall or Slope

Give us the approximate height and length, what sits above it and your town. The contractor will phone you to discuss it and book a site visit.
