Finding the right contractor to install your RETAINING WALL
Concrete retaining walls provide lateral support to vertical slopes of soil, when installing any concrete with a different level of landscape on either side of its installation. They retain soil which would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape, sabotaging the hard job at hand!
Puyallup's BEST RETAINING WALL COMPANY
Prized for their strength and versatility, concrete retaining walls require precise construction and installation methods. With this high level of technicality comes incredible versatility. Poured concrete retaining walls can be colored, textured, accented with embedded objects and much more. When installed properly, concrete offers much more room for customization than any other retaining wall material. Retaining wall design and wall type selection is driven by several factors. The main factors include: cost, ease and speed of installation, required wall height, ground water conditions and soil characteristics. Other key factors can include skilled labor and material availability, building codes, site accessibility, aesthetics, and local building practices. Our contractors with F.R. Concrete Company will work hard to provide the best possible solution and service for your retaining wall needs.
In most states like Washington, retaining wall designs taller than roughly four feet must be designed and installed by a qualified, licensed professional retaining wall contractor, like us here at F.R. Concrete Company. Additionally, it is important to check with and adhere to local building codes prior to any construction or installation services being done. Retaining walls are, and should always be viewed as load-bearing members first, and aesthetically pleasing groundscape curb appeal second! Hiring a licensed contractor who is experienced with pouring concrete retaining walls will ensure that you get a quality product that will last for years to come. When we are constructing your concrete retaining wall, it is imperative that the forms be built and installed properly by us, or else the end result could have waves, bulges, or cracking that make it appear sloppy and unfinished.
Depending on the pour and job design at hand, decorative retaining walls can replicate the look and feel of stone or masonry, without the cost and energy! The construction and installation process used by F.R. Concrete Company involves setting the forms, installing form liners inside the forms, (providing the desired texture,) pouring colored or plain concrete, then stripping the forms and staining the concrete to look like stone or masonry. Use our contractors to revamped and transform your hillside or ditch into a beautiful and usable space; let us create pockets and curves that can be used as planters and increase the overall appeal and feel of your property!
Common types of concrete retaining walls
Most concrete contractors can tell you that there are four main types of concrete retaining walls split into two different size categories: cantilever, counterfort, gravity poured and semi-gravity retaining walls. Each one of these options has a very specific installation and use, so because of this, we always recommend hiring us here at F.R. Concrete Company to provide you with a properly poured and placed concrete retaining wall. Hard working retaining walls can be key to creating a level sports lawn or a concrete driveway too.
OUR RETAINING WALL BENEFITS
Footings & Reinforcement for Concrete Retaining Walls
If a poured concrete retaining wall is what you’re after for your home of business, then it is imperative that you use F.R. Concrete Company contractors to design and install the concrete retaining wall for you, as we will ensure there is adequate footings and steel. Concrete retaining wall footing will extend outwards from the front face of the wall, or out the back, depending on the type specified by our clients and contractors. Concrete retaining walls with overly large footings that extend out a ways, can cause drainage issues for your lawn, which can also prevent any additional excavating you may need for shrubs and bushes. Your contractor with F.R. Concrete Company will coordinate the footing size and dimensions of your concrete retaining wall with paving or planting that follows along the front face of the retaining wall to accommodate any possible limitations we may run into.
Concrete Retaining Wall costs
A few key factors will affect the cost of installing a concrete retaining wall with F.R. Concrete Company: curves, reinforcement, height, length, and decorative finish. At times, depending on the specific job or idea you’d like for us to construct, crucial engineering is needed to best assist the concrete pour. The total cost to have a concrete retaining wall installed by one of our contractors, will be a combination of material and labor prices. For a basic concrete retaining wall you can expect to pay on average, between $30 and $60 per square foot. If you add any decorative finishes, curves, steps, lighting or other upgrades, the potential price will rise for your concrete retaining wall needs!
Don't Just Take Our Word For It
kolten redfield2025-01-23Jr and his guys do concrete for my company anytime I need it done, he also did work at my personal house matching existing concrete and it couldn't have been better! I Highly recommend F.R. Concrete LLC
Dan Cox2024-10-31Jr and his crew were extremely friendly and approached our project as if it were their own. They were very respectful of our property and house and took all precautions to prevent wet concrete from hitting our surrounding fence and shed. Jr remained responsive via text, email and phone throughout the entire process and was great to work with on-site. We would recommend his team to anyone looking for great work at reasonable prices. We will absolutely go with his company again for any future concrete work.
Kylee Hill2024-09-06This company is AMAZING. We recently moved to Yelm and have dealt with A LOT of contractors in different fields. Jr and his team are by far our favorites. Jr is professional, outgoing and his price was fantastic. After getting several bids that were astronomically high, I got a call back from Jr. I was discouraged and told him not to even bother coming out for a bid because I didn’t think we could afford it. He asked what I was looking for and my price point. I gave him the information and sent him a couple pictures of the project. He quickly responded that not only could he do it, but it would be done within the next week (insert happy dance😆) Our slabs got poured yesterday and they turned out so great. Thank you so much Jr, you and your team are fantastic and I look forward to working with you in the future.
SharannaMae Nash2024-08-13No need for another estimate! Junior and the crew were amazing!! Junior was very professional and educated me on the process until the project was completed. They worked hard removing sunken pavers, and replaced them with beautiful stamped concrete! Thank you so much guys!
George Hansen2024-07-21I needed some concrete done, not a big job for most but bigger than I thought about trying. Went online and found some contractors. Submitted to some of them and to F.R. Concrete. Jr, contacted me I believe that day. He said he was going to be in the area that afternoon and could he stop by. There was a couple of things that lead be to pick his company. 1) his company talked about family business, they were local. 2) Jr showed up when he said. Meeting him for just a brief moment he treated me with a handshake no fist pump stuff. 3) he looked at me when talking. All characters that I like in a business owner and person in general. I showed him what I wanted done. He gave me some good advice, he took some measurements and told me he'd write up an email it to me. Got the bid and I agreed. And within a week he fit me into a schedule. Came out in the morning as said, on time with his crew. He introduced me to them and definitely a family business. His crew framed one day, cleaned up before them left. I have a sprinkler system and they were very cautious of them. Came back the next day to pour and finish the job. I can't be any happier with the final finish. Jr and his crew (family) were very professional and great to deal. Oh yeah, the price was great. By the time Jr and his crew left, Jr made me feel like part of his family and not just a customer. Jr. Thank you again for doing a great job. And I'm looking forward to the future of more projects with your family. P.s see you for breakfast later George Hansen
Caleb Gross2024-06-29We had contacted several different contractors. When we met with Junior. He was very professional and detailed on how his crew would be doing the work. The other contractors were not detailed. When we received the proposal for the work. It was broken down and detailed as to the process of the work. Each day they were on time and informed us. Where they were at and what to expect when they returned. The finish work is excellent. They cleaned up after themselves. They matched our existing patio (with the gazebo) on both sides. The acid wash and sealing that was done. Is by far the way to go. Between the existing and new sections. There is no difference. I plan to have them back on our next project. I would recommend them for your project. You won’t be disappointed.
charles schroeder2024-05-25I am very happy with all aspects of this company and there work. From a timely fair bid to scheduling and completion of the project. Junior was very polite and did what he said they would do when he said they would do it. Including cleaning up afterwards! I highly recommend F.R. Concrete for your next project.
Ronald Barnard2024-05-13Jr and his crew did an outstanding job with our concrete job. They were detailed before the pour, during the pour and finished with high precision to detail. I’m truly impressed with this company and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Emily Owens2024-05-04I got a call same day I requested a quote on a Saturday. Jr came out within a few hours to quote replacing half of our driveway and let me tell you, his price beat the other 5-6 contractors we had our for the exact same job by quite a bit. He was very reliable, honest and got the job done in a day. We live in an HOA neighborhood and he made sure to finish the job with acid wash/power wash to match the old concrete. He was always so communicative about the steps they were taking to complete the job, very professional and cared about the job they were doing. I didn’t feel we were being taken advantage of like I did the first contractors we had out. I recommend FR Concrete 100% to any family, friends, acquaintances and beyond. Thank you for doing such a an amazing and thorough job. Support family owned businesses!!
Jim Lewis2024-05-03From the qoute to the finished product everything went smoothly. We appreciated how they thoroughly explained every step and procedure. They were always prompt and on time with their work. Will be recommending them to all of our family and friends.
