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.
