Properties along Choke Canyon Reservoir face ongoing bank erosion from wind fetch, arid climate water level swings, drought vulnerability. The reservoir's South Texas reservoir, drought-prone, Nueces River impoundment create conditions where unprotected clay and caliche slopes lose inches to feet of bank material annually.
Shore Protect Team builds retaining walls from treated timber, natural stone, gabion baskets, concrete block, and concrete bags — selecting the right system for each Choke Canyon Reservoir property based on bank height, clay and caliche substrate, and exposure to wind fetch, arid climate water level swings, drought vulnerability.
We serve waterfront properties along the full Choke Canyon Reservoir shoreline — near Three Rivers, Calliham. Contact us for a free consultation and on-site assessment.

labor and materials
Wood retaining walls for Choke Canyon Reservoir bank stabilization using marine-grade treated lumber and steel tieback systems in clay and caliche. Cost-effective for moderate-height banks where stopping active erosion is the priority.

labor and materials
Stacked stone retaining walls along Choke Canyon Reservoir using dimensional cut stone or boulders on reinforced footings. Mass of the stone resists lateral loads while freshwater drains freely through joints between courses.

labor and materials
Gabion retaining walls on Choke Canyon Reservoir providing flexible, permeable stabilization on clay and caliche slopes prone to settlement. The wire basket structure absorbs ground movement from wind fetch, arid climate water level swings, drought vulnerability without the cracking risk of rigid walls.

labor and materials
Segmental concrete block retaining walls for Choke Canyon Reservoir properties where bank height exceeds what wood framing can safely retain. Geogrid-reinforced block walls hold back 6+ feet of clay and caliche soil on exposed slopes.

labor and materials
Concrete bag retaining walls along Choke Canyon Reservoir for rapid bank armoring where active erosion threatens structures. Bags placed directly on existing grade — no excavation needed on unstable clay and caliche banks.

Retaining wall repair on Choke Canyon Reservoir: diagnosing failure causes, shoring compromised sections, replacing corroded hardware, regrading backfill, and restoring drainage near Three Rivers, Calliham.


Wood walls on Choke Canyon Reservoir are practical to about 4 feet. Concrete block with geogrid can exceed 8 feet. Height depends on clay and caliche bearing capacity and surcharge loads above the wall.
Starting prices on Choke Canyon Reservoir range from $70/ft for repair, $120 for concrete bag, $150 for wood and stone, $180 for concrete block, and $200 for gabion. Final cost depends on wall height, soil conditions, drainage and access.
The reservoir's clay and caliche determines foundation depth, tieback requirements, and drainage configuration. Softer soils need deeper embedment and more robust drainage to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.
Localized timber rot, displaced stones, and minor cracks can usually be repaired. If the wall is leaning, the foundation is undermined, or drainage has failed along most of the run, replacement is typically more cost-effective.
