| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Retaining Wall Installation | From $30/sq ft | Design and construction of new retaining walls for sloped yards, creek-side lots, driveway cuts and terraced gardens, built on proper footings with gravel backfill and drainage made for Oklahoma red clay. |
| Retaining Wall Repair | From $1,500 | Repair of leaning, bowing, cracked or settling retaining walls, from drainage correction and tieback anchors to partial rebuilds that stop a failing wall before the next round of spring storms finishes it. |
| Retaining Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Full tear-out and replacement of failed or end-of-life walls, including rotting landscape timber and railroad tie walls, with demolition, haul-away, new drainage, and long-lasting block, concrete or local stone. |
| 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 creek banks that carry storm runoff. |
| 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 subdivision terraces, curves, raised beds and garden walls. |
| Boulder & Natural Stone Walls | From $25/sq ft | Boulder and natural stone retaining walls in Oklahoma sandstone and limestone that blend into wooded, rolling lots: machine-placed rock with 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 on wet red clay 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 ravines, sandy hillsides and cut-and-fill subdivision lots. |
| Retaining Wall Drainage | From $2,500 | Drainage systems that make walls last: French drains, weep holes, gravel backfill and waterproofing that relieve hydrostatic pressure, the number one cause of retaining wall failure in heavy red clay. |
| Railroad Tie Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Removal and replacement of aging railroad tie retaining walls from the 1970s, 80s and 90s: creosote-treated tie demolition and haul-away, new gravel backfill and drainage, and a rebuild in block, concrete or local stone. |
| Leaning & Collapsed Wall Repair | From $2,500 | Priority response for leaning, bulging and collapsed retaining walls: stabilization with tieback anchors, drainage correction to relieve hydrostatic pressure in soaked clay, and partial or full rebuilds when a wall is past saving. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Timber walls are the most affordable option starting at $20/sq ft, while concrete and railroad tie walls range from $35/sq ft. Natural stone and block walls offer mid-range pricing at $25/sq ft.
- Wall Height and Length : Larger projects with greater square footage naturally cost more. Our per-square-foot pricing makes it easy to estimate your total investment based on your wall's dimensions.
- Site Conditions and Drainage : Difficult terrain, poor drainage, or erosion issues may require additional work like slope stabilization or drainage installation, which starts at $2,500 and affects your final price.
- Repair vs. Replacement : Minor repairs start at $1,500, while full replacements depend on material and size. Leaning or collapsed walls require specialized repair starting at $2,500.
