Concrete Retaining Walls · Smyrna
Concrete Retaining Walls for Smyrna properties
Smyrna homeowners call us for poured concrete and block retaining walls, wall drainage and crosstie wall replacement. We're a licensed, insured crew with twenty-plus years of experience, and every Smyrna job starts with a free quote.
A lot of the homes here are newer, and many backyards were left as bare clay by the builder, so the work is often a first patio, a driveway extension, steps off the back or a pad for a shed or hot tub. Backfill around newer foundations settles, so compaction under the slab matters.
Customers mention prompt estimates, starting when promised and a respectful crew that cleans up.
What's included
Concrete Retaining Walls we do in Smyrna
- 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.
Rutherford County
Concrete Retaining Walls around Smyrna
We work all over Smyrna — near Gregory Mill Dam Park, Smyrna Recreation Park and Britton Hill — and throughout Rutherford County.
Smyrna sits along I-24 in Rutherford County between La Vergne and Murfreesboro. Smyrna is about 27 miles northeast 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.

Questions
Concrete Retaining Walls in Smyrna: FAQs
Do you do concrete retaining walls in Smyrna, TN?
Yes. Smyrna is about 27 miles northeast 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 Smyrna?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the Town of Smyrna's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.
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.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Often, depending on the height and what the wall holds up, like a driveway or a house. Rules differ between Spring Hill, Franklin, Columbia and the counties, and taller walls usually need an engineer's design. We check what your site needs and help with the paperwork.
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.
