These mortar-free walls use engineered interlocking blocks that stack securely and provide excellent drainage. This method combines modern technology with techniques dating back to the Great Wall of China. They’re perfect for residential and commercial landscapes alike.
For a sleek, modern look and maximum strength, poured concrete is an ideal option. These walls are perfect for managing steep grades and are highly resistant to moisture and shifting soil.
If you want a more rustic or natural aesthetic, we offer retaining walls built from Tennessee fieldstone, flagstone, or large landscape boulders. These are great for blending into the surrounding environment or adding visual interest.
The terrain in Chattanooga is very uneven, and sometimes even the strongest retaining walls will need repair because of weather conditions and shifting soil. Chattanooga Concrete Co’s retaining wall contractors will survey the area, provide consultation, and once approved set a plan in motion to repair your retaining wall. Retaining wall repair might feel frustrating to deal with, but we’ll make sure your repairs look just as good or better than it did when the wall was first installed.

Retaining walls are designed to hold back soil, prevent erosion, and manage water runoff. They are commonly used to stabilize sloped areas, create level spaces, and enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a landscape.
Common materials include interlocking concrete blocks, poured concrete, natural stone, and boulders. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and the wall’s functional requirements.
The timeline varies based on the size and complexity of the project, but most retaining wall installations take 3–7 days to complete.
Permit requirements depend on your location and the wall’s height. In many areas, walls over 4 feet tall require a permit. We can help you determine and secure any necessary permits.
The maximum height depends on local building codes and soil conditions. Typically, walls over 4 feet may require additional engineering and reinforcements for stability.
Proper drainage is crucial to prevent water buildup behind the wall, which can cause pressure and damage. We include gravel backfill, drainage pipes, and weep holes to ensure effective water management.
Yes, retaining walls are specifically designed to stabilize slopes. Additional steps, such as terracing or reinforced walls, may be necessary for steep grades.
With proper construction and maintenance, block retaining walls can last 50–100 years, depending on the materials used and environmental conditions.
Many retaining walls can be repaired if the damage is minor, such as cracks or slight leaning. However, severe issues like significant bulging or failure may require replacement. We can assess the condition and recommend the best solution.
The cost depends on the wall’s size, height, materials, and site conditions. We provide free consultations and estimates to give you an accurate idea of pricing for your project.
Interlocking block walls are easier to install, allow for better drainage, and have a more flexible design compared to poured concrete walls. However, concrete walls offer a sleek, modern look and are ideal for higher walls requiring significant strength.
Regular maintenance includes checking for cracks, ensuring proper drainage, and cleaning any buildup of dirt or debris. Promptly address small issues to avoid costly repairs.
