An existing block wall bulging or tipping forward Blocks separating at the joints or stair-stepping Soil and mulch washing through the wall face Slope you want to convert to usable flat ground Erosion undercutting a bank or driveway edge Wall built with no drainage stone behind it [Call 704-460-2019](tel:7044602019) [Free estimate](/contact) What we do ## Our Segmental Block Walls Services ### Gravity block walls Lower walls that hold by mass, built on a compacted, level base course. ### Geogrid-reinforced walls Taller walls tied back into the soil mass for long-term stability. ### Terraced wall systems Multiple lower walls instead of one tall one where the site allows. ### Drainage stone & pipe Every wall gets clean stone and a drain outlet behind the face. ### Caps, steps & corners Finished detail that makes a functional wall look built on purpose. ### Wall replacement Rebuilding failed walls correctly instead of shimming them. Local conditions ## 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.

Questions ## 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.
