| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Retaining Wall Installation | From $30/sq ft | Design and construction of new retaining walls for sloped Fort Worth yards, creek-side lots, and driveway cuts, built with proper footings, gravel backfill, and drainage that hold up on shrink-swell clay. |
| Retaining Wall Repair | From $1,500 | Repair of leaning, bowing, cracked, or settling retaining walls on Fort Worth clay, from drainage correction and tieback anchors to partial rebuilds that stop failure before it becomes collapse. |
| Retaining Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Full tear-out and replacement of failed or end-of-life walls, including rotting railroad tie and landscape timber walls, with demolition, haul-away, new drainage, and modern materials suited to Fort Worth clay. |
| Concrete Retaining Walls | From $35/sq ft | Poured concrete and reinforced CMU block retaining walls with engineered footings, rebar, and weep holes, the strongest option for tall walls, driveway cuts, and bluff-edge lots. |
| Block & Segmental Retaining Walls | From $25/sq ft | Segmental retaining walls (SRW) in Allan Block, Versa-Lok, and Keystone systems: mortarless engineered block with geogrid reinforcement, ideal for terraces, curves, and garden walls. |
| Boulder & Natural Stone Walls | From $25/sq ft | Boulder and native limestone retaining walls that blend into creek-side and sloped landscaping, with machine-placed rock construction, proper base preparation, and drainage for a natural, durable finish. |
| Timber Retaining Walls | From $20/sq ft | Pressure-treated timber walls for garden beds and low terraces, a budget-friendly option, with honest guidance on when timber makes sense and when a longer-lasting material is the better call. |
| Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control | Free estimate | Slope stabilization with terraced retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement, and erosion control, protecting homes, driveways, and yards on creek banks, bluff edges, and cut-and-fill lots. |
| Retaining Wall Drainage | From $2,500 | Drainage systems that make walls last on Fort Worth clay: French drains, weep holes, gravel backfill, and waterproofing that relieve hydrostatic pressure, the number one cause of retaining wall failure. |
| Railroad Tie Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Removal and replacement of aging railroad tie retaining walls from the 1970s and 80s, with creosote-treated tie demolition and haul-away, new gravel backfill and drainage, and a rebuild in block, concrete, or limestone. |
| Leaning & Collapsed Wall Repair | From $2,500 | Priority response for leaning, bulging, and collapsed retaining walls on Fort Worth clay: stabilization with tieback anchors, drainage correction to relieve hydrostatic pressure, and partial or full rebuilds when a wall is past saving. |
What Affects the Price
- Wall Type and Material : Different materials have different costs. Timber walls are the most affordable option, while concrete and railroad tie walls typically cost more. Natural stone and boulder walls fall in the mid-range depending on material availability.
- Wall Height and Square Footage : Larger walls require more materials and labor. Most installations are priced per square foot, so a 100 sq ft wall will cost significantly less than a 500 sq ft wall using the same materials.
- Site Conditions and Accessibility : Difficult terrain, poor drainage, unstable soil, or limited equipment access can increase labor costs. We assess your site during the free estimate to identify any challenges that affect pricing.
- Drainage and Foundation Work : Proper drainage is essential for wall longevity. If your project requires drainage installation, erosion control, or extensive site preparation, this will be reflected in your final estimate.

Pricing FAQ
Why do retaining wall prices vary so much?
Pricing depends on material choice, wall size, existing site conditions, soil stability, and labor complexity. A small timber wall repair is very different from a large concrete installation on difficult terrain. That's why every project deserves a site-specific estimate.
