Our team of retaining wall builders recently repaired and rebuilt an older retaining wall at a home in Manchester, TN. The original wall was failing and starting to lean, so we removed the damaged blocks, rebuilt the base, fixed the drainage, and installed a new, solid retaining wall that will hold up for years.
We dug out the area, repaired the foundation, and reset each block the right way to make sure the wall drains properly and stays level. Once everything was rebuilt, we cleaned up the walkway so the homeowner could safely use the path again.

Design & Planning
We start by visiting your property and talking through what you need — from holding soil to improving the look of your yard. Our team designs a wall that fits your space, height, and budget using strong, lasting materials.
Site Prep & Excavation
We clear and level the area to build a solid base. Proper prep keeps the wall stable, level, and ready to handle water and soil pressure for years.
Base & Block Installation
A compacted base is installed, and each block is stacked evenly for strength and alignment. Every retaining wall is built to stay secure and durable through Tennessee weather.
Drainage & Backfill
To prevent water buildup and erosion, we add proper drainage and backfill behind the wall with rock or gravel. This keeps your retaining wall stable and long-lasting — even during heavy rain.
Finishing & Cleanup
Once the wall is complete, we check every detail, clean up the area, and make sure it blends perfectly with your property. Homeowners across Manchester, McMinnville, and Tullahoma trust us for retaining walls that look great and perform for years.
