Orinda is characterized by the hilly terrain, curvy residential streets, and panoramic open landmarks surrounding the communities and localities such as the Orinda Village, Glorietta, Sleepy Hood, and the Orinda Country Club. Since houses are constructed in raised or sloping ground areas, the use of well constructed retaining walls is very essential in controlling the movement of soil, erosion, and developing flat, habitable grounds within the yard. The combination of the slope-heavy properties and the clay-based soil in Orinda makes the right retaining wall a necessity both in the long run safety and stability.
Our crew is specialized in the maintenance of the construction and repair of the retaining wall that is customized to the surroundings of the hills of Orinda. We know the troubles that local homeowners have to put up with, such as drainage issues or slope pressure or shaky walls that start to lean or crack. Whenever you are constructing or repairing any building, we provide solutions that are designed to last long, perform and bring a sense of peace.

We have a transparent process at the beginning and end, to achieve the best results. This is what you should expect in case you work with us:
We think that good retaining walls begin with openness — and we ensure that you are comfortable with each step we take.
In terms of enhancing the landscape look as well as the structure of your landscape, our retaining walls are constructed in such a way that they not only provide strength permanence but also beautify your back yard.
In Orinda, each property is associated with elevation and soil issues. Our retaining walls are developed to take care of the pressure on the hill sides, seasonal water, and the long term movement of soil.
Older home in hillside or a new development with modern landscaping requirement we construct retaining walls that are in line with your architecture, with your yard and with your long term objectives.
We deal with engineered block, natural stone, and reinforced systems, which will be ready to withstand the climate of Orinda, and then you can have a reliable wall up to years.

The retaining walls used in Orinda significantly help in safeguarding the houses against soil movement, erosion of the hillslope, as well as against the stress brought by the varying weather. As time goes by, the walls of buildings may start to weaken, crack or lean particularly in the sloping neighborhood whereby the walls may have the moisture accumulating on the back of the wall. Our group assesses your landscape with keen eyes to come up with the safest, most robust, and least expensive solution to your landscape.
Engineered materials, correct drainage systems and accurate construction techniques are used to make sure that your yard is all-year-round and stable. You can be supporting a hilly side or making a flat terrace ground, we will design a retaining wall that will hold your landscape together and enhance the landscape of the area.
Collapsed retaining walls may be very dangerous to the safety of the hillside communities such as Orinda. When the structure starts to crack, lean, lose soil as well as experience drainage failure, then all these can be a signal that it is at an excess pressure. Our team determines the cause of the issue and this could be the bad construction, soil swelling or lack of drainage and offers a lasting, engineered solution.
It is possible to reinforce some walls and make them more stable with specific repairs, whereas in some cases, partial or even complete constructions have to be carried out to guarantee the right support. Every project we undertake is done with accuracy and attention to detail and serves to build back the strength of your landscape and assists in safeguarding the worth of your home in the future.
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.
