Retaining Wall Services

Retaining walls can turn difficult slopes into usable space, help control erosion, improve drainage, and protect your property. T-N-T Paving & Excavating provides retaining wall construction and site preparation backed by 30+ years of experience working throughout the Mother Lode.

Retaining Walls Built Around Your Property

Every retaining wall starts with the ground it has to hold back. T-N-T Paving & Excavating evaluates the slope, surrounding terrain, drainage, access, and intended use of the area before the work begins. From excavation and grading to site preparation and wall construction, we approach the project as one complete system.

Whether you're trying to reclaim usable property, support a hillside, improve a driveway or building site, or control erosion, we'll help determine the right approach for the property.

Our Retaining Wall Services Include:

Retaining Wall Construction

From smaller property improvements to substantial hillside and site-development projects, T-N-T builds retaining walls around the needs of the property. We consider elevation, soil, drainage, access, surrounding improvements, and the amount of earth being retained before construction begins.

Hillside Retaining Walls

Sloped properties are common throughout the Mother Lode, and sometimes making that ground usable requires more than grading alone. Retaining walls can help manage elevation changes, support cut areas, control soil movement, and create flatter, more functional sections of property.

Retaining Walls for Erosion Control

Water moving across an unprotected slope can carry soil with it and gradually damage roads, driveways, landscaping, and developed areas. A properly planned retaining wall can become part of a larger erosion-control solution designed to better manage the property and protect vulnerable areas.

Retaining Wall Excavation & Site Preparation

The wall itself is only part of the project. Proper excavation creates the space and foundation area needed before construction begins. T-N-T handles the digging, grading, material movement, access, and site preparation required to get the retaining wall project started correctly.

Retaining Wall Drainage

Water pressure behind a retaining wall can create serious problems when drainage isn't considered. We look at how runoff reaches the area and how water needs to move through or around the finished project, integrating drainage and grading into the overall site plan when needed.

Retaining Walls for Driveways & Roads

Retaining walls can provide critical support where driveways and private roads cross steep or changing terrain. T-N-T can combine retaining wall construction with road excavation, grading, drainage, and paving preparation to improve access and make better use of challenging property.

Retaining Walls for Building Sites & Home Pads

Creating a home pad or building site on sloped ground may require retaining portions of the surrounding terrain. With T-N-T's excavation and grading capabilities, retaining wall work can be coordinated with the larger site-preparation project instead of being treated as an isolated part of the build.

More Than a Retaining Wall Contractor

One of the advantages of working with T-N-T Paving & Excavating is having an excavation, grading, paving, and site-work contractor involved in the project. If the retaining wall is part of a larger property improvement, our crew can handle much more than the wall itself.

From hillside excavation and grading to drainage, home pads, roads, driveways, land clearing, and paving, we can help take the property from its existing condition toward the finished project you have planned.

Tommy and his crew did an excellent job. Skilled operators on new equipment moved 100 yards of dirt in a day and a half, and cleaned up the site when they were done.Their prices were reasonable too.

I am very happy with the result. I would definitely recommend them for excavation work in this area.

Tommy was a referral, and I couldn't be happier, his estimate was very reasonable, for the work I needed done, grading, tree removal, built retaining walls, add road base for my driveway, and removed all the debris. They were here for about a week, was always here on time, helped me pick the materials, he provided the road base and the additional dirt. They did a great job..I'll be using them again if i need additional work
Thank you so Much Tommy...your Son Tom and his friend Brandon, did a great job too..very respectful and know what they're doing...

I have used Tommy and his crew for many jobs. Paving and sealing a driveway, laying gravel and landscaping my yard, hauling brush, and I plan to have him install a custom fence soon.

Why do I call on him for so many varied jobs? Here are just a few reasons:

1. He's dependable
2. He does great work
3. He's very competitive in his pricing
4. He stands by his estimates
5. He's honest
6. He's local

You need a better reference? I don't think so.

I recently used Tommy and his son to do some grading work, remove a huge tree stump and dig some footings. They showed up right on time, finished it in one day and did a great job.
