Retaining Walls & Drainage in Carrollton

Indian Creek and the smaller tributaries that cut through Carrollton mean a meaningful share of the city's lots have real drainage problems — water pooling against a foundation, a slope eroding into a neighbor's yard, or a patio that was never graded away from the house in the first place. Before we talk about the patio or kitchen a homeowner actually called about, we're often talking about the retaining wall or French drain that has to happen first.

Structure first, then the finish

We build stone and block retaining walls with proper footings, drainage gravel, and weep systems so water moves through the wall instead of pushing it over — then layer the patio, kitchen, or landscaping on top once the site actually drains correctly. Skipping that order is exactly what causes the cracked slabs and shifted walls we get called out to fix on Carrollton lots that someone else built.
