Custom Retaining Wall Design & Engineering

Every property is unique, and retaining walls must be designed with precision to handle varying soil conditions, load requirements, and elevation challenges. GBD CONCRETE evaluates each site to develop a tailored plan that ensures strength and long-term functionality. Our design considerations include:

  • Soil type, density, and pressure
  • Proper drainage systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure
  • Wall height, thickness, and reinforcement
  • Structural load and environmental conditions
  • Aesthetic finishes that enhance landscaping

By combining engineering accuracy with thoughtful design, we create retaining walls that blend seamlessly into the environment while providing essential structural support.
