Ensuring a sturdy and durable retaining wall installation is crucial for the long-term stability of your property. While some may consider DIY approaches, it’s important to recognize the complexities involved in constructing retaining walls to withstand various soil conditions, drainage issues, and potential structural loads. As experts in the field, we recommend seeking professional assistance if you’re unsure about the intricacies of retaining wall installation. A qualified professional can assess your site, provide tailored solutions, adhere to local building codes, and ensure proper engineering and landscaping techniques are employed. By investing in professional retaining wall installation, you’re not just safeguarding your property but also gaining peace of mind knowing that your structure is built to last.

The price varies on the scope and scale of your project and the materials selected. We collaborate with you to form a budget and a plan that works within that budget. Our goal is to provide you with enough information to make an educated decision that works for you.

The need for inspection or maintenance of your retaining wall varies based on the wall’s materials. As rule of thumb, retaining walls are meant to hold back earth not water, adding additional soil behind the wall is needed when the soil in below the retaining walls cap.

Geogrid: The Secret Weapon for Reinforcing Retaining Walls!

Are you looking to reinforce and stabilize your retaining wall? Look no further than geogrid installation. Geogrid, a geosynthetic material, is an essential component for enhancing the stability of your retaining wall. Installed in horizontal layers between wall courses and extending into the soil behind the wall, geogrid serves to increase your wall system’s mass and resilience. Whether your project involves residential landscaping or commercial landscaping, geogrid ensures suitability for segmental retaining wall systems offering a wide range of applications.

The installation process for geogrid is straightforward yet critical for optimal performance. It involves meticulous steps such as proper site preparation, laying the geogrid perpendicular to the wall, ensuring correct positioning and overlapping, and careful backfilling and compaction. With geogrid reinforcement, retaining walls can effectively withstand varying soil conditions, loading pressures, and environmental factors, providing long-lasting stability and peace of mind for your landscape construction projects.

The crew at Excel worked on our front porch retaining wall. They did excellent work, were courteous, prompt in getting the job done, and even came out a few months later just to double-check the wall during cold weather. Thanks for all you did. I will definitely recommend your services.

The recent ice storm had the sidewalks and driveway a sheet of ice. They came out twice to treat the areas. I was impressed with not only the work they performed but also that I did not have to call them to remind them. Rarely do I encounter from others the great service Excel provided. I am thrilled I hired them.

I called and they actually answered the phone and it didn’t go to voicemail. They came to see the job and gave me a fair quote and a date when they would be able to do it. The job was completed on time and I’m very happy with the work of the team.
