A concrete retaining wall that suits your ground
A concrete retaining wall holds back a slope so you get level ground for a lawn, a concrete floor for a shed or a pool deck. At J&R Santa Rosa Concrete Construction, the price usually turns on the wall's height and length, how firm the ground is and how easily equipment can reach it, and the schedule mostly turns on the permit.
Water is what I worry about most with a wall, so I plan where groundwater, runoff and any nearby pipes will drain before I plan the wall itself. The City of Santa Rosa requires a building permit unless the state building code exempts the work, so we check with the city before we bid, handle the application when one's needed and meet the inspector.
Which kind of wall fits your yard
Get a quoteCantilever wall
This is a poured wall tied into a wide footing. Wisconsin highway guidance says this design does best on firm ground that can carry the wall's weight.
Gravity wall
This is a thick, heavy wall that holds the slope by its own weight. Washington highway guidance says gravity and cantilever walls handle settling worst, so they need solid ground.
Wall on piles
Soft ground can call for piles, which are posts driven down to firmer soil, under the wall. The Wisconsin guidance says piles raise the cost significantly.
Wall with a fence
Santa Rosa measures a fence on top of a wall from the bottom of the wall, so count the wall's height when you plan the fence.

Why homeowners call us for walls
Owner on site, own crew
I come out to look at every wall before I price it, and I'm on site on pour day. Our own crew does the work.
Building here since 2021
I started this business in Santa Rosa in 2021 after years on other crews, and I'd still rather spend an extra hour checking than pour over a mistake.
Check the license for walls
We're licensed and fully insured. Ask any contractor which license covers your wall, because the state license board classes poured concrete and block walls separately.
