Earth Retention Systems
When contractors call us, the walls are in the early stages of failure. The contractors claim that they followed the manufacturer specifications or the engineer drawings, and they do not understand why the wall is moving. I have to conduct a site visit to figure that out.
As for homeowners and customers, I am sorry you are dealing with this issue, and yes, we can help. Call our office. My beautiful wife, Eden, will help you get started. We are your retaining wall contractor in Orlando.
Retaining Wall Contractor Orlando: Frequently Asked Questions
What types of retaining walls do you build in Orlando?
We design and install segmental block walls, CMU block and reinforced concrete walls, cantilevered and gravity walls, sheet pile systems, and anchored or tieback earth retention systems. Every wall is engineered for the Central Florida soils, drainage patterns, and local building codes.
Do you handle retaining wall permitting in Orange County?
Yes. As a licensed civil and structural engineering firm, we prepare sealed drawings, structural calculations, and manage permit submissions with Orange County and surrounding jurisdictions to meet the Florida Building Code.
Why do retaining walls fail so often in Orlando?
Many walls fail due to poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure buildup, inadequate reinforcement, or generic manufacturer specs not tailored to local soils. The loose fill, expansive clays, and high water table in Central Florida require site specific engineering, which we provide on every project.
How do you repair a leaning or cracking retaining wall?
Repairs may include tieback anchors, soil nails, underpinning, reinforced rebuilds, and improved drainage systems. We perform forensic engineering to find the root cause before designing a permanent, code compliant fix.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Orlando?
Pricing depends on wall height, length, materials, soil conditions, and site access. Engineered CMU or poured concrete walls can start around 75 to 120 dollars per square foot, while anchored or sheet pile systems are higher. We provide detailed cost per foot estimates after a site review or plan submission.
What details should I send for a retaining wall quote?
Helpful information includes the height and length of the wall, its intended purpose such as slope stabilization, erosion control, or property support, and any available plans or soil reports. We can also visit your site if no documents are available.
Do you offer drainage solutions with retaining walls?
Yes. Proper drainage is critical in Florida. We install weep holes, drain pipes, geotextiles, and engineered backfill to relieve water pressure and extend the life of the wall.
Can you analyze a wall built by another contractor?
Absolutely. We provide forensic analysis and expert reports when a recently built wall shows movement or failure. Many of our Orlando calls come from contractors and homeowners facing early wall issues.
Where do you provide retaining wall services around Orlando?
We serve Orlando, Winter Park, Maitland, Windermere, Doctor Phillips, Lake Nona, and surrounding Orange County areas. Our engineering team also travels statewide for complex earth retention projects.
