RetainingWalls.
Footings below frost, real drainage behind the block — walls that hold a slope for decades, not for two winters.
- Footings dug below frost depth
- Drain tile routed out to daylight
- A fixed number before we dig
A wall is a drainage problem with stone on the front.
Most failed walls in Utah County didn't fail from weight — they failed from water. Freeze, thaw, and saturated backfill push harder than the soil ever did. We dig the footing below frost, backfill with clean drainage rock, run drain tile out to daylight, and set every course with the batter the block calls for.
Seating walls, terraces, and structural walls up the bench — if it holds back soil, it gets engineered before it gets built.
