The work behind the wall matters most
A retaining wall depends on excavation, base preparation, drainage and backfill that match the wall design. The finished face gets the attention, but the buried work is what gives the system a fair chance to perform.
We focus on the excavation side of the project: opening the slope, preparing the base, managing material, installing specified drainage and placing backfill in the required sequence. Engineered walls are built from the approved plans—not improvised in the trench.

Retaining Wall Installation scope
- Wall excavation and benching
- Base and footing preparation
- Drainage aggregate and pipe placement
- Backfill placement and compaction
- Access and spoil-hauling coordination
Every property is different. The estimate should spell out access, excavation, material, hauling, compaction, restoration and any work handled by another licensed trade. That gives you a number you can actually use.
Plan around water, access and approvals
Wall height, surcharge, slope, soil and nearby structures can affect engineering and permit requirements. Canby properties in floodplain or sensitive drainage areas may need additional review. We help define the earthwork scope and coordinate with the wall installer or engineer.

Canby retaining wall excavation FAQs
Do you design retaining walls?
We provide excavation and site work. Walls that require engineering should be designed by the appropriate licensed professional.
Can you repair a leaning wall?
The cause needs to be identified first. Drainage, base failure, soil pressure or inadequate construction may require different solutions.
Why is drainage important behind a wall?
Water adds pressure and can move soil. Proper drainage and free-draining backfill are key parts of most wall systems.
