Walls, terraces and steps in Lockbourne
Walls show up wherever ground changes level, beside driveways, behind patios and along property lines, and Lockbourne is no exception. We build segmental block, poured concrete and terraced walls there, each with the base, drainage and setback its height and load call for.
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 Lockbourne, the first conversation covers three things: height, load and water.

Questions
Lockbourne questions
Do you build retaining walls in Lockbourne?
Yes. Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne?
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 Lockbourne?
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.
How long does a wall take, and when can it be built?
A typical residential wall takes from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on length, height and access. Segmental walls are a cold-season option too, any time the soil is workable rather than frozen or waterlogged; poured walls follow concrete weather, with cold-weather protection when it is needed.
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.
