Retaining and planter walls in Phoenix hold soil where the grade changes and frame landscaping beds. When one leans, cracks or bulges, it's warning you that it's holding more than it can. Or maybe you need a new wall to level a yard or a site. We form and pour cast-in-place concrete walls with the rebar the plans call for, and we can walk your site the same week you call.
When You Need Retaining & Planter Walls
You need a new wall when you're changing the grade, building raised planters, or holding back soil next to a drive, walk or building. You need a replacement when a wall leans, bulges, has cracks that keep widening, or has water seeping through it.
A leaning wall doesn't straighten itself out. Water behind a wall adds weight, and monsoon storms from June 15 through September 30 can saturate the soil fast. It's cheaper to replace a failing wall than to clean up after it gives way.
Planter walls are the friendlier cousin of retaining walls. They're shorter and mostly frame landscaping, but they still need a footing and rebar so they don't crack or tip as the soil behind them gets watered. We pour them straight or curved, to fit the beds.
Our Retaining & Planter Walls Process
After the site walk you get a written bid within 24 hours. For walls that need engineering, we build to the engineer's plans. We dig and pour the footing, set the rebar for the wall, and build the forms. Forms and steel are checked before the truck arrives. We include the drainage the plans call for, so water doesn't build up behind the wall.
Then we pour, finish the exposed faces and tops, strip the forms and clean up. Planter walls can be curved or straight to fit the landscaping.
Walls near a property line, a building or a public walk may have rules about height and location. We'll go over what the plans or permits call for at the walk, so the wall goes in once and stays.
If an old wall is coming out, we demo and haul it off as part of the bid.
Retaining & Planter Walls Cost in Phoenix
Cost depends on wall length and height, footing size, the rebar and drainage required, whether an old wall has to come out, the finish and site access.
Your written bid lists every step, and the price is fixed to that scope.
Cast-in-place concrete walls can be finished smooth or left with a clean form finish, and the tops can be finished to sit on or to set planters on. We'll go over the options at the walk.
Every wall job ends with the forms stripped, the backfill placed as the plans call for and the site cleaned up.
