Retaining Wall project by Mendez Hardscaping near Elizabethton, TN

Mendez Hardscaping

If your yard in Elizabethton, TN slopes enough to wash out or limit how you can use it, a retaining wall can fix both problems. We build block and stone walls on a compacted base with drainage behind them so they hold up through heavy rain and winter freezes.

Retaining Wall Across Elizabethton, TN

Elizabethton, the Carter County seat, sits along the Watauga River, and many properties around town sit on slopes or near low ground where water has to be planned for before anything is laid.

Sloped properties around Elizabethton need walls that handle water as much as soil. We build with drainage stone and an outlet path, size the wall for the height of the bank and, when the wall is tall, explain what extra reinforcement or permitting the site may need.

How We Build retaining wall

Most failed walls fail from water. Soil that fills with rain pushes harder than dry soil, so a good wall needs a compacted gravel base, drainage stone behind the wall and a pipe or weep path that gives water somewhere to go. We build those in rather than treating them as extras.

Yes. Drainage is what keeps a wall standing. We backfill with drainage stone and give water a path out so pressure does not build up behind the wall.
