Retaining Walls in Hillsboro, OR

Hillsboro's rolling acreage and sloped lots — out toward the Tanasbourne corridor and the acreage west of town — make retaining walls part of everyday property care here. Our Hillsboro retaining wall service builds walls that hold back real earth, with proper base, compaction, and drainage so they stay straight for decades through Oregon's wet winters instead of bowing after one.

We've built retaining walls across the Portland Metro Area since 1998, and Hillsboro's clay soil and slopes are exactly what we plan for. The clay holds water all winter, heaves with freeze-thaw, and pushes against any wall that wasn't built to handle it — which is why we compact a proper crushed-rock base and install gravel backfill with a drainage outlet behind every wall.

A lot of Hillsboro retaining walls are about turning an unusable slope into level, usable space — a lawn, a patio, a garden — by terracing. We build segmental block walls for the structural work and natural stone or timber for lower garden-bed walls, and we help you pick the material that lasts and fits your house. On the acreage lots west of town, walls often pair with field mowing and drainage work we're already doing on the same property.

We also replace the bowing, leaning walls that another crew built without drainage — tearing them out and rebuilding them the right way, base and drainage and all, so you're not back in a few years with the same problem on a bigger, more expensive lot.
