Why people call about this.
The slope is washing out
A wall turns an eroding bank into level, usable ground.
You want a level patio on a sloped lot
Common in the hill country side of Bell County. The wall holds the grade the patio sits on.
An old wall is leaning
Usually a drainage or footing problem. Rebuilding it right is cheaper than repairing it twice.
WACO, TX
Retaining Walls in Waco: what’s different here.
Waco is the McLennan County seat, a city of about 138,500 people (2020 census) on the Brazos River and I-35, home to Baylor University, with Lake Waco on its western edge. Its neighborhoods range from historic districts like Castle Heights to newer growth in Hewitt, Woodway, China Spring, and the I-35 corridor south toward Robinson and Lorena. Waco and each suburb (Hewitt, Woodway, Robinson, Lorena) issue their own permits, many newer subdivisions have HOAs, and because it is about 40 minutes from Temple, visits and work days are planned around the drive.
Pavers & Hardscape in Waco
Pavers set on a proper base handle Waco’s expansive clay better than large slabs, and sloped lots near Lake Waco often need retaining walls.
The ground
East and south of Waco the soil is heavy Houston Black clay with severe shrink-swell, while to the west toward Lake Waco and Woodway the ground carries more limestone and chalk close to the surface.
Homes and lots
Older homes on tree-lined streets in neighborhoods like Castle Heights and Sanger Heights, family subdivisions in Hewitt and Woodway, and larger lots and acreage around China Spring.
