Retaining Wall Service
Retaining Wall Replacement in Fort Collins, Colorado
Retaining wall replacement is the right choice when a wall has failed beyond repair — significant leaning, collapsed sections, or a wall that has lost its structural integrity. Replacement removes the failed wall entirely and rebuilds with a proper foundation, correct drainage, and a material chosen for the long term.
Retaining Wall Replacement
Replacement removes the failed wall down to a clean, stable base. The new wall is built with a compacted gravel footing, drainage aggregate and a perforated pipe behind it, and courses set to the correct height and setback for the load. The finished wall is backfilled, graded, and compacted, with the soil and landscaping restored around it.
Common Applications
- Walls that have leaned or collapsed past the point of repair
- Walls built without drainage that have failed prematurely
- Older timber walls that have rotted or bowed out
- Walls where the original design or material was undersized
Property Considerations
- Temporary support for the soil while the old wall is removed
- Correcting the root cause — usually drainage or foundation
- Choosing a material rated for the retaining height
- Access for excavation equipment on residential lots
Benefits & Considerations
- Corrects the cause of failure, not just the symptom
- A wall engineered for the actual retaining height
- Drainage built in so the new wall lasts
- Restored appearance and safety for the property
