Step-by-Step: How We Build Retaining & Seat Walls
At KISSConcrete Inc., we follow a proven, step-by-step construction process to ensure every retaining wall and concrete seat wall is built for lasting strength and visual appeal. Whether you’re reinforcing a sloped yard or adding stylish seating to your outdoor space, our goal is to deliver durable, high-quality results that enhance both function and design.
STEP 1
Consultation & Planning
We begin with a site visit to assess your landscape, soil conditions, and design preferences. During this consultation, we discuss your goals—whether you’re looking to control erosion, add terracing, or incorporate functional seating into your space. Based on your needs and budget, we then provide a customized design plan and detailed estimate.
STEP 2
Excavation & Site Prep
We begin by marking the wall’s layout and excavating to the proper depth based on site conditions. Drainage solutions—like perforated pipes or weep holes—are added to prevent water buildup. A compacted gravel base is then installed to ensure stability and prevent shifting.
STEP 3
Foundation & Base Course
We install a solid, perfectly leveled base course using concrete blocks, stone, or poured concrete, which serves as the critical foundational layer for the retaining wall’s long-term durability and structural integrity
STEP 4
Wall Construction
We build the wall layer by layer, carefully backfilling and compacting behind each course to reduce pressure and maintain stability. For taller retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement may be added to enhance structural strength. All materials are set with precision and alignment, ensuring a clean, uniform appearance throughout the wall.
STEP 5
Drainage & Backfill
Proper drainage is installed behind the wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup, which is the leading cause of retaining wall failure. This includes integrating perforated drain pipes, weep holes, or other drainage systems to direct water away from the structure. We use clean, angular crushed rock or gravel as backfill material, which not only allows water to flow freely through the drainage system but also improves soil stability and reduces the risk of shifting or settling over time.
STEP 6
Capstones & Finish Work
We install capstones to give the wall a clean, finished appearance while also providing added protection against erosion. For seat walls, we carefully set the height and depth to ensure a smooth, comfortable surface that’s ideal for outdoor seating and entertaining.
STEP 7
Clean-Up & Final Walkthrough
After construction is complete, we clean and restore the site to its original condition. We then walk you through the finished project to ensure it meets your expectations in every detail. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee and available warranty options for added peace of mind.
