Retaining Wall Construction and Repair Services in Berkeley, CA
The topography of Berkeley is between the steep hills of the city above Grizzly Peak and Panoramic hill to the terraced backyards of the Northside, Claremont and the Elmwood area. As the heights vary across neighborhoods surrounding the UC Berkeley, Tilden Regional Park and the Berkeley Hills, retaining wall is needed to stop soil erosion, runoff control and outdoor stabilization. There are numerous households which depend on well-planned retaining walls to ensure that there is security as well as viable yard space.
Our team constructs and reinstates retaining walls, which are structuralized in accordance to the slopes, soil condition, and microclimate of Berkeley. Regardless of whether your house is built on a hill side with high drop-offs or a lot that is not steep, but has to be strengthened, we design solutions that offer structural support in the long-term. Each retaining wall that we develop is one that takes into account the individual problems of your property and improves the overall look of your property.
How to Spot Early Signs of Retaining Wall Failure
We assist you in detection of warning signs before they damage your landscape.
The following are issues that should be monitored by homeowners in Berkeley:
- Fissures along the wall or the bottom.
- Washing away or dragging of soil behind the building.
- Bowing, leaning, or bulging parts.
- Division of blocks, stones or joints.

Verified Client Reviews
We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
