Holding back soil and water in Lincoln Village
Clay soil, wet springs and winters that freeze and thaw many times over are the conditions any Lincoln Village retaining wall has to live with. Built on a compacted leveling pad, with a drainage zone and the right setback, a wall can handle them season after season.
Ravines along the Olentangy and Scioto rivers and along creeks like Alum and Big Walnut leave many lots with steep banks, where terraced walls are often the gentlest way to make level ground. Fill soil around newer homes keeps compressing for years, so a wall built near a recent foundation needs its base on firm, undisturbed ground rather than on loose backfill.
Use the form or call for a free estimate. Whether it is a new wall or a failing one in Lincoln Village, the first conversation covers three things: height, load and water.

Questions
Lincoln Village questions
Do you build retaining walls in Lincoln Village?
Yes. Lincoln Village is in the area we serve around Columbus, for block, poured, terraced, seat and replacement walls and steps through walls. Pass along the details, and a phone call follows to arrange a look at the site.
Will my Lincoln Village retaining wall need an engineer?
It depends on height and load. Walls roughly 4 feet and taller, or walls supporting a driveway, building or another wall, can require engineered plans and a permit. Your city, village or township sets the exact threshold.
My wall in Lincoln Village is leaning. Can it be fixed?
Usually it needs to be rebuilt, at least in the leaning section, with the cause addressed: base, drainage or load. It gets looked at first to see why it moved, before anyone decides how much has to come down.
When can a retaining wall be built in Lincoln Village?
Block walls can be built in most months, provided the soil is not frozen hard or waterlogged. Poured walls follow concrete weather, with cold-weather protection when needed, so planning over the winter keeps the start date flexible.
How do I get a retaining wall estimate in Lincoln Village?
Call (614) 482-2063 or use the form with the wall's approximate height and length and what sits above it. The contractor will phone to discuss the wall and schedule a visit to the site.
Block or poured concrete: which is stronger?
Neither is simply stronger; they resist soil in different ways. A segmental block wall is flexible and heavy, relying on its weight, its setback and geogrid, and it tolerates small movements. A poured wall is rigid and relies on steel and a footing below the frost line, which suits tall walls in tight spaces or walls right beside a driveway. The site decides.
Have a slope that needs holding?
Describe the height, the length and what sits above it, and we will call to discuss the wall and schedule a site visit.
