Holiday busy-ness definitely caught up to us, but we’re excited to finally share this one. We wrapped up this block retaining wall in Eureka for some of the sweetest clients we’ve had, and we’re incredibly grateful they trusted Visionary Concrete Co. after being left unsatisfied by another contractor.
Originally, this wall was planned as a 3-foot poured concrete wall. When we showed up, it was clear the previous work wouldn’t have held up long term. There was no footer, uneven rebar spacing, and bowed forms already showing signs of failure. With this wall sitting where the homeowner mows behind it on a tractor, that setup could have led to a serious accident.
Knowing the engineering behind concrete matters. We tore everything out, removed the existing rebar, brought in a mini-ex, and excavated a 24-inch-wide footer, jackhammering out large rock along the way to do it correctly. Once the solid footer was poured, we talked more with the homeowner and decided a block retaining wall made more sense both structurally and aesthetically, especially since it sits right at the front of the property.
This project is a perfect example of why doing things the right way matters. We don’t cut corners, we don’t guess, and we don’t compromise safety.
Doing it the right way is the only way we do it.
