RWR is an expert in building all types of retaining wallsRetaining walls serve to hold back a vertical or near vertical face of soil that would, without adequate retention, cave, slump, or slide to a more natural slope. In the Bay Area the more common retaining walls are constructed of poured concrete, shotcrete concrete, or steel or wood beams with pressure-treated timber lagging (the boards).

Many retaining walls are built improperly and thus are prone to early failure.Several of the important design areas commonly overlooked by less experienced contractors are: embedding the piers (posts) deep enough into competent material or properly sizing the footings, and providing adequate drainage behind the wall. Hydrostatic pressure is a major cause of retaining wall failure and is an absolute requirement.
