L.A. Retaining Walls

Description

Among the services LA Retaining Walls provides in Calabasas is retaining wall site preparation and grading. In Calabasas, decomposed granite and canyon soils behave very differently from valley clay, so wall design there starts with understanding the ground on each lot. Calabasas properties often combine large backyards, pools and steep slopes, which makes engineered walls and dependable drainage a common need. Site preparation also covers related work such as leveling patio pads, preparing drainage swales and reshaping slopes. Grading and excavation prepare the site by digging to the depth and width the wall requires and shaping slopes with drainage in mind. Many wall failures trace back to poor site prep, such as excavation started without a plan or backfill that was never compacted. Site access is planned in advance on steep or narrow properties. Many of the same clients also rely on the company for new wall construction and design consultations. The service area also includes Laurel Canyon, Los Feliz and South Pasadena.
