Retaining Walls Built for Dallas Clay and Storm Drainage
Retaining walls in Dallas live or die on two things, clay and drainage. The expansive black clay soils across most of the city push against wall systems as they swell and shrink, and the heavy rain that comes with North Texas storms puts real load behind any wall without proper drainage. Sites near the Trinity River corridor and the lower-lying areas of West and South Dallas add floodplain and stormwater requirements to the design. We build and repair with those conditions in mind rather than to a generic spec.
