Replacing a Damaged Retaining Wall: Causes & Solutions

A failing retaining wall can be more than just an eyesore—it can lead to erosion, drainage issues, and safety hazards. If your wall is leaning, sagging, or crumbling, improper installation is often to blame.

Poor Excavation & Grading – A weak foundation or uneven base causes shifting over time.
Lack of Proper Drainage – Without a drain system, water builds up behind the wall, creating pressure that leads to movement or collapse.
Incorrect Backfill Material – Using soil instead of gravel or crushed stone can trap moisture and weaken the structure.
No Reinforcement – Taller walls need geogrid reinforcement to prevent bowing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Sam and the crew at A&S. They installed an underground drainage system to redirect water from my backyard to the front of my property, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. Sam was an excellent communicator from start to finish. The quote was detailed, transparent, and easy to understand, and the team showed up exactly when promised. They got right to work and stayed focused until the job was complete. The excavation turned out to be more challenging than expected due to numerous unmarked underground pipes and wires. Rather than rushing through it, the crew took their time, carefully switching to manual digging whenever it was the safer choice. Their attention to detail and professionalism gave me a lot of confidence throughout the project. The finished drainage system looks great, the work was completed on time, and the entire crew was courteous and easy to work with. I highly recommend Sam and the team at A&S to anyone looking for quality work and outstanding customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his crew were absolutely amazing. They communicated every step of the way, came in right around the proposal price, and even fixed neighbors yards that were affected by traffic during the construction. They left our driveway and yard clean and finished the project very timely. We were so happy and would definitely recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole crew from demolition of the deck and installing patio pavers, leveling the grass and seeding.  Very neat with clean up of work area.  They kept a good line communication since we were in the middle of extreme heat last week. They are very flexible to work with.  I HIGHLY recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I left the below message over a month ago. Since then, Sam has come back, admitted the mistakes, apologized profusely, rectified all of the mistakes and then went above and beyond to seal our driveway which was not part of the original landscaping! You do not find this honesty and integrity with many businesses anymore. It is greatly appreciated! I am upgrading from a 1-5 for his outstanding effort! They left our yard full of mud everywhere. Took over 2 hours to clean up. They also caused a huge crack in our driveway that wasn’t there before they dos the work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his team were excellent! They installed a catch basin to address some drainage issues in our backyard, and also regraded soil away from the house to prevent any flooding issues. They showed up on time and completed the work on schedule. They cleaned up after themselves and walked through everything before they started and when they finished. I highly recommend this company!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sam and his crew did a great job removing our old patio and installing a new one with a fire pit and stone bench. From a communication standpoint, Sam was the best contractor I’ve worked with - he texted or called me whenever there were key decisions or if plans were altered due to weather. Highly recommend
