Concrete Retaining Walls · Columbia

Concrete Retaining Walls for Columbia properties

Looking for a retaining wall contractor in Columbia? Spring Hill Concrete Pro is a licensed and insured crew, and Columbia is part of our regular service area, about 11 miles from Spring Hill. We handle poured concrete and block retaining walls, wall drainage and crosstie wall replacement.

In the older neighborhoods here, a lot of the work is replacing original driveways, walks and patios that have cracked, heaved or sunk, often between mature trees and in tight spaces.

A Columbia customer wrote: “He was very prompt on giving us an estimate and was there the next day to start the project.”

What's included

Concrete Retaining Walls we do in Columbia

  • 01

    Poured concrete retaining walls

    Formed and poured walls with steel through the footing and wall, for tall cuts, driveway edges and spots that need the most strength.

  • 02

    Reinforced block retaining walls

    Concrete block walls on a poured footing, with rebar and grout in the cores and a clean cap on top.

  • 03

    Drainage behind the wall

    Drain rock, filter fabric and perforated pipe or weep holes, so rain water drains out instead of pushing on the wall.

  • 04

    Crosstie and timber wall replacement

    We remove rotting railroad tie and treated lumber walls, haul them off and replace them with concrete that will not rot.

  • 05

    Driveway and patio walls

    Walls that cut a level spot into a slope for a driveway, parking pad or patio, with steps built in where you need them.

  • 06

    Backfill and grading

    We backfill in layers, compact as we go and grade the top so water runs away from the wall and the house.

Maury County

Concrete Retaining Walls around Columbia

We work all over Columbia — near Pop Geers Park, Betty Lee Park and Second Knob and out by Allen Branch — and throughout Maury County.

Columbia is the Maury County seat, on the Duck River. Columbia is about 11 miles southwest of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area.

Concrete in Middle Tennessee has to handle clay soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks in a dry August, limestone that's often only a few feet down, freeze-thaw winter nights and heavy spring rain. A slab holds up when it sits on a compacted stone base, has steel where it needs it, sheds water away from the house and has joints cut where cracks are meant to go.

How it works

How your Columbia retaining wall job works

  1. 1

    Free on-site quote

    We look at the slope, the soil, where the water goes and what the wall needs to hold. Customers mention how quick and prompt our estimates are.

  2. 2

    Wall design and permits

    We pick the wall type and drainage for your site. Taller walls often need an engineered design and a permit, and we help line that up.

  3. 3

    Excavate and pour the footing

    We dig to firm soil, set the steel and pour a footing that locks the wall in place.

  4. 4

    Build, drain and backfill

    We build the wall, set drain rock and pipe behind it, backfill in layers and clean up the site.

Questions

Concrete Retaining Walls in Columbia: FAQs

Do you do concrete retaining walls in Columbia, TN?

Yes. Columbia is about 11 miles southwest of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area. We handle poured concrete and block retaining walls, wall drainage and crosstie wall replacement there, and the quote is free.

Do I need a permit for concrete retaining walls in Columbia?

It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the City of Columbia's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.

Poured concrete or block: which is better?

Both work when they are built right. Poured walls are the strongest choice for tall walls and tight spots near driveways or foundations, and reinforced block works well for most yard walls with a clean, finished look. We build both, so we recommend whichever fits your site.

Can you fix my leaning retaining wall?

If it is leaning badly, rebuilding is usually the honest answer, because the footing or the drainage was the problem in the first place. We take the old wall out, haul it off and build a new one with a proper footing and drainage.

Why do retaining walls fail in Middle Tennessee?

Water and clay. Our clay holds water after heavy spring rain and gets heavy, and a wall without drainage takes all of that pressure until it leans or cracks, with winter freeze-thaw adding to it. We build every wall with drain rock and pipe or weep holes behind it and a footing that reaches firm soil.

How much does a retaining wall cost?

Height and length drive it, along with the wall type, how much digging and hauling the site needs, and how easy it is to get equipment in. A tall poured wall at the bottom of a steep yard is a very different job from a short garden wall. We give a free quote after seeing the slope.
