Retaining Wall Construction and Repair Services in El Cerrito, CA

Landscape of El Cerrito is characterized by the steep hills running in the Arlington Boulevard and East Richmond Heights (as well as the low-lying areas running in the Moeser Lane, Fairmount Avenue, and the areas around Cerrito Vista Park). These elevated sites on the hills provide a beautiful scenery but are accompanied by the problems such as the flow of runoffs, drifting of soil, and soil erosion therefore powerful retaining walls are mandatory to ensure the stability of property in the long run. Houses all over the El Cerrito hills particularly rely on properly planned retaining walls to ensure that the outside space can be used and safe.

The soil of El Cerrito, the steepness of the hillsides, and the seasonal variation in moisture are the factors that compel our team to construct and maintain retaining walls. We can bring solutions to your landscape, whether your place is close to the Ohlone Greenway, or nearer to Central Avenue, or on top of the hill, with steps on both sides of the yard, to strengthen your scenery and enhance the aesthetic and practical character of your outward area.

Reinforcement of a Retaining Wall by Using Steel or Geogrid

We provide long-term performance and this is achieved through solid reinforcement techniques that overcome sloping terrain of the City of El Cerrito.

The following is the way we fortify new or existing retaining walls:

The incorporation of geogrid layers to secure the soil at the back of the wall.
Steel reinforcement to improve the structural integrity.
Installation of tie-back anchors where reinforcements are required.
Enhancing base compaction to withstand settling.
Improving drainage to lower hydrostatic pressure.
Enhancing tall or load bearing walls.
Making commercial and residential walls commercially and residential code compliant.

Your retaining wall sustains the pressure of the hills and seasonal soil movement with the appropriate reinforcement.

Smart Retaining Wall Solutions for Commercial Properties

Retaining walls used commercially should be both strong, meet code requirements and be attractive in design, and thus accurate engineering at the earliest stage is imperative.

Designed to carry High-Traffic and Heavy loads

Business premises can be subject to more soil pressure and foot traffic as well as environmental stress which makes them stronger structural and taller walls.

Long- Term Operating and Minimal Maintenance

Our construction materials can withstand weathering and sprinkling, we use more durable materials and we use them frequently, eliminating the necessity to repair them regularly.

Striking a Balance between Professional Appearance and Structure

The use of clean lines, consistent materials and proper layouts of the building assuring of commercial retaining walls benefit the exterior of the building as well as the landscape.

Our commercial retaining walls are engineered and are attractive to the eye of the beholder, thus remaining strong and appearing polished over the years.

Restoring Cracked Retaining Walls Without Replacement

Not every wall that has been cracked must be torn down, a large number of them can be re-inforced and drained or repaired with strategic placements. The cracks are usually found in the hilly side neighborhoods of El Cerrito because the soils swell against the water during rainy seasons, or the walls are not reinforced with enough support during the building of the older walls. Our team would analyze the cause of the damage and then determine whether there is a need to do bracing, reconstruction, or structural anchoring.

In most instances, we are able to reuse the original wall by repairing the drainage, providing new footing support or placing reinforcement which redistributed the pressure. The wall is also reinforced in this way and saves time and money to the homeowners not to mention that the wall will increase the life of the structure.

Retaining Wall Design Ideas That Add Visual Appeal

Your landscape should not be supported by a retaining wall, but it should be raised. Our walls are designed in a manner that they blend with patios, walkways, entryways, and garden designs. Contemporary block systems have a clean look and a modern finish with the natural stone walls giving the wall a warm aged appearance that blends well with the residential appeal of El Cerrito.

Terraced garden levels, ornamental planter walls or a design that matches perfectly with the existing hardscape, we can customize a solution that will increase curb appeal and add to the functionality of the outdoors. All projects combine the aesthetics and order to bring a long term value to your home.
