“Fort Worth Retaining Wall built a 40-foot concrete retaining wall along the back of our property to stop erosion from all the rain we get. The crew showed up on time, worked clean, and finished the whole job in just three days. Best part? They hauled away all the old debris and left our yard looking better than it did before.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“We wanted something that looked natural in our Weatherford backyard, so we went with a stacked stone retaining wall. The guys did beautiful work, the stones are perfectly aligned and it honestly looks like it belongs there. Really impressed with the craftsmanship.”
Boulder & Natural Stone Walls
“Our old block retaining wall in Burleson was leaning pretty bad and we were worried it would collapse. Fort Worth Retaining Wall came out, assessed it, and fixed it without having to tear the whole thing down. They reinforced the drainage and stabilized it, solid work and way more affordable than replacement.”
Retaining Wall Repair
“Had them install a raised stone retaining wall feature in our Keller yard and they nailed it. The wall is about 3 feet tall, runs along our front slope, and looks way better than we imagined. Crew was professional, didn't make a mess, and the whole project took less than a week.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“After heavy rains kept washing soil down our Mansfield hillside, we called Fort Worth Retaining Wall to stabilize the slope. They installed a segmental block wall with proper drainage that's already made a huge difference. No more erosion problems and our yard is actually usable again.”
Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control
“Our old railroad tie wall in Southlake was rotting and falling apart, so we had them replace it with a modern concrete retaining wall. The transformation is incredible, looks clean, professional, and it's going to last for decades. Highly recommend if you've got an old wall that's seen better days.”

When Fort Worth homeowners search for a retaining wall contractor near me, Fort Worth Retaining Wall is the local crew they find and trust. We design, install, repair, and replace retaining walls on sloped and hillside lots across Fort Worth, Weatherford, Burleson, Mansfield, Keller and the surrounding area.
Our region brings real challenges: expansive clay soil that swells with winter rain, steep cut-and-fill lots, and saturated backfill that is the number one cause of wall failure. Every wall we build is engineered around drainage first. Request a free estimate and we'll assess your slope with no obligation.
Retaining wall repair is where we see the most urgent calls. A leaning or bowing wall is almost always a drainage problem: water trapped in saturated backfill builds hydrostatic pressure, and expansive clay soil pushes the wall outward, especially after heavy winter rain.
Cracking, bulging, sinking, and settling follow from clogged or missing weep holes and French drains, an undersized footing, or poor compaction. Small movement rarely stops on its own, and a minor lean can become a collapse once soil is fully saturated. Call us at (817) 764-1304 and we'll take a look.
We diagnose the real cause, correct the drainage, and rebuild only what's needed. Contact us to discuss your wall.
Fort Worth Retaining Wall builds with the full range of materials and matches each to your site: segmental block and SRW systems (Allan Block, Versa-Lok, Keystone), poured concrete and reinforced CMU for tall or surcharge-bearing walls, boulder and natural stone that drains through the gaps, and pressure-treated timber for low garden beds. Taller walls get geogrid reinforcement, and every wall is built with gravel backfill and working drainage.

Retaining walls in Fort Worth are typically quoted per square foot of wall face, and typical ranges depend on the material, wall height, drainage and excavation, site access, and whether engineering is required. A low block garden wall on level ground sits at the bottom of the range; a tall engineered hillside wall with tiebacks sits well above it. Final pricing depends on site conditions, so visit our pricing page or request a free on-site estimate.
In most jurisdictions, a retaining wall permit is tied to height and load. Commonly, walls over about four feet measured from the footing require a permit, and a wall supporting a surcharge such as a driveway or structure often needs one at a lower height, along with engineered drawings. Thresholds, fees, and setback rules vary by city, so none of this should be treated as a fixed rule. Fort Worth Retaining Wall can advise on what the process typically looks like for your project. Requirements vary, so always verify with the Fort Worth building or planning department before starting your project. Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.
