Frequently Asked Questions
Why do retaining walls fail on Lexington clay slopes?
Most failures trace back to water, not the wall itself. Kentucky clay holds moisture and swells, pushing against a wall with nowhere for that water to go. We backfill with washed gravel and a perforated drain pipe behind every wall so water moves through instead of building pressure. Skip that step and even a well-built wall shifts within a year or two.
Can a retaining wall fix a drainage problem in my yard?
Sometimes. If runoff is cutting a slope apart or pooling against a foundation, a wall paired with proper grading redirects that flow instead of fighting it. We look at the whole site, not just the eroded spot, because a wall built without correcting the grade upstream just moves the water problem somewhere else on the property.
