Concrete is strong in compression but has no ability to span voids. If the soil or base beneath a slab settles unevenly, the unsupported concrete cracks and breaks. Proper grading, aggregate placement, and compaction create a uniform, stable foundation that supports the concrete evenly for its entire lifespan. Skipping or shortcutting subbase prep is the leading cause of premature concrete failure.
Related: Grading & Prep
The primary causes are inadequate drainage behind the wall, undersized footings, insufficient reinforcement, and poor soil compaction during backfill. Hydrostatic pressure from trapped water is the number one killer of retaining walls. Our installations address all of these factors with proper engineering and construction practices.
Related: Retaining Walls
All removed concrete is hauled to local recycling facilities where it is crushed and processed into recycled aggregate for use in new construction projects. This keeps concrete out of landfills and puts the material back to productive use.
