We begin with a thorough site evaluation: grading and elevations, soil characteristics, drainage patterns, nearby structures, utilities, and access. We document surcharge loads (like fences, pools, or driveways), plan wall alignment and batter, and determine the best foundation depth and base width for long-term performance.
Next, we prepare engineered plans that consider factors of safety for sliding, overturning, and bearing capacity. We specify geogrid type and spacing, backfill gradation, weep systems, and cap details, and handle permitting and HOA submittals as needed. When required, we coordinate stamped drawings and inspections.
Construction follows best practices: excavation and overdig, compacted aggregate base, precise leveling, block or form installation, geogrid placement per design, drainage pipe with outlets, and clean stone backfill in compacted lifts. We finish with caps, sealants where appropriate, final grading, and a walkthrough with maintenance guidance and warranty coverage.
