Segmental Block Retaining Walls in Lake Norman NC
Segmental block walls work when the invisible parts are right: a compacted leveling pad, clean drainage stone behind the face, and geogrid where the height calls for it. That is where we spend the effort.

Segmental Block Walls for Lake Norman Properties
- Lake Norman clay is a poor backfill material — drainage aggregate is what keeps these walls standing.
- Walls over four feet generally require engineering and permitting in this area.
- Lakefront and hillside lots see concentrated runoff that loads walls harder than the height suggests.

Segmental Block Walls FAQs
How tall can a block wall be?
Gravity walls are usually limited to about three to four feet. Above that we use reinforcement and, where required, engineering.
Why did my old wall fail?
Almost always base or drainage. Water pressure behind an unfree-draining wall pushes it out.
How long do these walls last?
Built correctly, decades — the block itself outlasts the installation mistakes that usually cause failures.
