A failing retaining wall is more than just an eyesore—it’s a structural threat to your landscape and your home's foundation. At NTX-FRS, we specialize in building high-capacity retaining walls that are built to withstand the unique lateral pressure of North Texas clay soils. Whether you are replacing a rotting timber wall or installing a new stone tier, we ensure your wall is built to last.
Every wall we build starts with a properly compacted sub-base and footing, ensuring the structure will last long-term.
We include specialized drainage "weep holes" and sometimes gravel backfill to ensure water doesn't build up behind the wall and cause structural failure.
We use high-grade stone, reinforced concrete, and heavy-duty blocks that are specifically rated for the soil loads of the DFW Metroplex.
If your property has significant elevation changes, a retaining wall is your first line of defense against soil erosion. Without a properly structured wall, heavy rains will wash away the soil supporting your foundation, driveways, and patios, leading to catastrophic structural shifting.
Beyond mere aesthetics, a professional wall manages the “lateral earth pressure” that naturally wants to push soil downhill. We install walls with integrated drainage systems to prevent water buildup behind the structure, which is the leading cause of wall bulging and eventual collapse.
We combine architectural beauty with civil design principles to ensure your property remains stable and secure.
The number one killer of retaining walls is water pressure. We install dedicated perforated drain pipes and clean gravel backfill behind every wall to channel water away from the structure, preventing the "hydrostatic push" that causes most walls to fail.
A wall is only as strong as what it sits on. We excavate deep footings and use steel reinforcement to ensure the wall is tied directly into the stable soil. This prevents the wall from "kicking out" at the bottom or leaning forward under heavy soil loads.
