What's Included

What goes into every wall we build.

01

Site assessment & design

We evaluate slope, soil, drainage, and load before recommending materials. The right wall starts with the right plan.

02

Excavation & base

Proper footing depth below frost line prevents heaving. Nebraska winters are hard on walls built without this.

03

Drainage installation

Crushed stone backfill and drain tile behind every wall. The leading cause of wall failure is water pressure. We eliminate it.

04

Wall construction

Block, natural stone, or boulders set to spec. Walls over 4 feet are engineered and permitted where required.

05

Backfill & compaction

Properly compacted fill behind the wall prevents settling and keeps drainage paths clear.

06

Final grade & cleanup

Site graded, debris removed, and everything left clean. You see the finished result, not the process.

Common Questions

Retaining Wall FAQs — Elkhorn

How long do retaining walls last in Nebraska?
Block walls built with proper drainage last 25-50 years. Natural stone and boulder walls can last a lifetime with minimal maintenance.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Elkhorn?
Elkhorn is part of the City of Omaha. Walls under 4 feet generally don't require a permit, but taller walls do. We verify requirements before starting your project.
What causes retaining walls to fail?
Poor drainage behind the wall. Water pressure builds in saturated soil and pushes the wall outward. Every wall we build includes drainage to prevent this.
Can you repair an existing retaining wall in Elkhorn?
Yes. We assess walls that are bulging, leaning, or crumbling. Some repairs involve rebuilding with proper drainage. We'll tell you honestly what's worth saving and what isn't.
Do you work in Elkhorn?
Yes. Elkhorn and western Omaha are active service areas. We take on retaining wall, patio, and drainage projects there regularly.
