Retaining Wall Replacement & Reconstruction in Herriman, UT
When a wall has failed beyond repair — rotted timber, collapsed masonry, or blown-out block — we demolish it safely and rebuild with an engineered precast block system designed to hold up for decades.
Complete Replacement for Failed and Aging Retaining Walls
Some walls can't be saved — and trying to patch a wall with a failed footing or deep structural blowout just delays the inevitable. We specialize in complete tear-downs and rebuilds, replacing compromised materials with engineered precast block systems that are properly drained, reinforced, and built to current code. The result is a wall that performs like new, with none of the weaknesses that doomed the original.
Safe Demolition and Material Removal
Controlled demolition of the old wall, with full haul-away and site clearing before any new work begins.
Correcting Underlying Soil and Drainage Flaws
We fix the base, regrade, and rebuild drainage so the new wall doesn't inherit the old one's problems.
Rebuilding with Superior Precast Blocks
High-strength precast blocks, proper reinforcement, and engineered drainage deliver a wall built to last.
When Is Replacement Better Than Repair?
Replacement makes sense when the damage is structural, not superficial.
Severe Structural Collapse or Blowouts
When sections of the wall have already failed or bulged outward beyond recovery, replacement is the only safe option.
Foundation and Footing Failure
If the base itself has shifted or washed out, no amount of block repair will hold — the footing must be rebuilt from scratch.
Outdated or Inadequate Original Materials
Walls built with timber, dry-stack without reinforcement, or undersized blocks often need full replacement to meet modern standards.
Our Reconstruction Process
Four steps from failed wall to finished rebuild.
Step 1: Site Evaluation and Demolition
We assess the failed wall, safely demolish it, and haul away all debris, leaving a clean slate.
Step 2: Regrading and Base Reconstruction
We correct the underlying soil and drainage flaws, regrade, and compact a new engineered stone base.
Step 3: Engineered Block Installation and Drainage
New precast blocks go in with proper reinforcement, geogrid, and a complete drainage system behind the wall.
Step 4: Final Restoration and Landscaping Cleanup
We cap the wall, restore surrounding grade and landscaping, and leave the site clean and finished.
FAQs About Retaining Wall Replacement
What happens to the old wall materials?+
We demolish and haul away the old wall — whether it's failing block, rotted timber, or collapsed masonry — and dispose of it responsibly. The site is fully cleared before reconstruction begins.
How long does a full replacement take?+
A typical residential replacement runs three to seven days from demolition to final backfill, depending on wall length, height, access, and the extent of base correction needed. We provide a firm timeline upfront.
Is replacement more cost-effective than repeated repairs?+
When a wall has severe structural failure — failed footings, deep blowouts, or inadequate original construction — replacement is almost always cheaper than chasing ongoing repairs, and it gives you a wall with a fresh multi-decade lifespan.
Can you match the new wall to the rest of my landscaping?+
Yes. We source precast blocks in colors and textures that complement your existing hardscape, and we restore the surrounding grade and landscaping so the new wall looks like it was always there.
