We construct structural soil-retention systems using proper grading techniques, drainage integration, and hillside reinforcement. Whether you're addressing a steep yard in Columbus or protecting a commercial site from sliding, our installations include site assessment, material selection, and precision placement.

What to Expect When You Book

You'll start with an on-site evaluation where we measure grade changes, test soil composition, and identify drainage needs. Our team reviews your Columbus property to determine wall height, length, and whether a block or natural-stone design suits your terrain. We discuss timeline expectations and material options before breaking ground.

Heart 7 Enterprises handles excavation, base preparation, and wall assembly using equipment suited for tight residential spaces or wide commercial zones. Proper grading and wall construction prevent washouts, sliding, and structural damage. You'll see each course leveled, backfilled with drainage aggregate, and compacted to ensure long-term stability.

We finish with erosion-control measures and site cleanup, leaving your property graded for landscaping or additional hardscaping. Our hillside and erosion-control solutions integrate with existing drainage systems, protecting structures and preventing costly repairs down the line.

How deep does the base need to be for a retaining wall?
You'll need a compacted gravel base at least six inches deep for walls under four feet, with deeper footings required for taller structures. We excavate below frost line to prevent seasonal shifting.

What's the difference between block and boulder walls?
Block walls use interlocking units for consistent height and clean edges, while boulder walls offer a natural look and handle irregular terrain. Both require proper drainage and backfill.

Do retaining walls need drainage systems?
Yes, you'll want perforated pipe and drainage aggregate behind the wall to prevent water pressure from destabilizing the structure. We install weep holes or drainage outlets as needed.

Can retaining walls be built on steep Columbus hillsides?
Absolutely—stepped or tiered walls manage severe slopes by breaking elevation changes into manageable sections. We assess soil stability and grade each tier for proper load distribution.

Retaining walls protect your investment by controlling erosion, expanding usable land, and preventing soil movement that damages foundations or driveways. Reach out for a retaining wall consultation in Columbus and lock in your site's stability.
