Concrete Retaining Wall Installation
& Replacement in Apex

Apex Concrete builds each concrete retaining wall with drainage behind it and steel inside it. We are locally owned, and we know how wet Piedmont clay pushes on a wall.

Concrete Retaining Wall Installation in Apex, NC

Apex sits on rolling land, with a high point of about 390 feet. That means many yards have slopes, raised beds, or banks near creeks. When rain hits, clay washes out. A retaining wall that was never built for water will lean, crack, or tip over.

We build a concrete retaining wall from the ground up. We dig a strong footing, set the steel, and place drain pipe and gravel behind the wall. Then we pour and finish the face. Concrete handles weight and wet soil better than most other wall materials, and it does not rot or bend. We have built walls for homeowners in New Hill and Pittsboro, where rolling land near lakes and creeks needs extra support.

The Value of Concrete Retaining Wall for Your Property

A retaining wall protects your yard and your home. It stops erosion, creates flat space, and gives you a clean line along a slope. In a wet climate with clay, a wall with real drainage is worth every dollar.

Here is why many Apex homeowners choose this work:

  • Real support for sloped yards
  • Less erosion after storms
  • Drainage built in behind the wall
  • Strength against soil and water pressure
  • More usable yard space
  • A clean, sharp look
  • Years of dependable service
 
A retaining wall built with a good footing, steel, and drainage can hold back soil for decades.

Concrete Retaining Walls Planned for Wet Clay

After a big storm, wet clay weighs a lot more than dry clay, and that pressure pushes on every wall. That is why we plan drains, gravel, and weep holes before we build. Lots near creeks and buffers can also have special rules, so the Town of Apex website is a good place to learn what applies to your property.

Why Our Retaining Walls Stay Straight

Most failed retaining walls had no drainage or too small a footing. We avoid both mistakes. We dig down to firm soil, pour a wide footing, and place steel in both directions. Then we add gravel and pipe behind the wall so water can leave. If your project also includes new steps or a walk, we can pour concrete steps and a concrete driveway in the same plan.

Our Concrete Retaining Wall Installation Process

We start with a site visit and talk about height, soil, and water. Next, we dig out the area and pour the footing. Forms go up, steel goes in, and we place the wall concrete. We finish the face and install drainage behind it. After the concrete cures, we backfill carefully in layers. Walls taller than a few feet may need plans, so check with Wake County Permits and Inspections early.
