Retaining Walls & Hillside Stabilization
Hillside lots need a different kind of judgment than flat ones — how much to cut, how to keep a slope from sliding while you're working it, and how to get equipment onto ground that barely has room for it. Terry has spent decades running machinery on hillside excavation, orchard-prep, and retaining wall jobs across the South Bay, including some of the tighter, steeper sites other operators pass on.
What's included
- Hillside excavation — cutting into a slope to the line and grade your project's plans call for.
- Retaining wall site prep — excavating and preparing the trench and base a retaining wall sits on, working from your engineer's plans.
- Steel I-beam wall installation — driving and setting steel I-beam posts and corrugated panel walls, as shown above.
- Challenging terrain — equipment and technique matched to steep, narrow, or otherwise difficult hillside access.
Good fit if…
You have engineered plans for a retaining wall and need the excavation and installation labor to go with them, or you're dealing with a slope that's already showing signs of movement and needs stabilization work.
Engineering and permits are project-specific. Retaining walls above a certain height, or on certain slopes, typically require an engineer's design and a permit — we work from your plans and confirm requirements for your property during the estimate process. We're not a substitute for a licensed structural engineer.
