Retaining walls are engineering structures that hold soil on properties with elevation changes and prevent landslides. On waterfront properties and sloped areas, retaining walls are especially important for slope stabilization, creating terraces, and protecting building foundations from soil movement.
Shore Protect Team LLC builds retaining walls from various materials: concrete blocks, natural stone, gabions, treated lumber, and reinforced concrete. Material selection depends on wall height, soil type, groundwater level, and aesthetic preferences. We work on lakefront properties, river areas, and coastal zones, creating reliable structures for private and commercial properties.
Each retaining wall requires proper load calculation, drainage system installation, and a solid foundation. Our specialists conduct site analysis, calculate soil pressure, and design structures considering all safety factors. We use anchor systems and reinforcement for walls over 4 feet high, ensuring maximum strength and durability.
We provide a complete cycle of work: from design and calculations to construction and project completion with warranty. We work with private homeowners and commercial clients. Free consultation and preliminary cost estimate.

View examples of our completed work, which demonstrate a professional approach to shoreline slope reinforcement and terraced landscape creation. The portfolio features retaining wall projects from concrete blocks, natural stone, gabions, and other materials for properties with varying terrain. As a team with international experience in marine construction, we properly calculate soil pressure, install drainage systems, and create structures that prevent landslides for decades. Whether you're planning new retaining wall construction, need work assessment, or repair of existing structures - our completed projects demonstrate execution quality that ensures stability of waterfront properties on lakes and rivers in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Concrete Bags retaining walls: From $120 per linear foot. Bags with concrete mix are laid without formwork and harden in place, creating a strong and economical structure.
Stone retaining walls: From $180 per linear foot. Reliable and durable method of slope protection. Creates a natural and harmonious appearance.
Concrete block retaining walls: From $180 per linear foot. Concrete blocks create a strong modular system with excellent load-bearing capacity and long service life.
Wood retaining walls: From $150 per linear foot. Optimal cost-to-quality ratio. Made from high-quality treated lumber. Service life of 40-50 years.
Gabion retaining walls: From $200 per linear foot. Wire baskets with rock provide excellent drainage and natural appearance for eco-friendly slope reinforcement.
Concrete Bags walls: Optimal for projects with limited budget. Laid without formwork, which speeds up construction. Suitable for areas with moderate load.
Stone walls: Ideal for areas where aesthetics and natural appearance are important. Durable slope protection method that blends harmoniously into waterfront landscape.
Concrete block walls: Suitable for areas with elevation changes requiring strong modular system. Excellent load-bearing capacity and long service life.
Wood walls: Optimal for lake areas and river territories. Good cost-to-quality ratio with 40-50 year service life.
Gabion walls: Essential for slopes requiring excellent drainage. Wire baskets with rock create eco-friendly reinforcement with natural appearance.
Material selection: Concrete Bags from $120/ft, stone and concrete blocks from $180/ft, wood from $150/ft, gabions from $200/ft. Each material has its own strength and durability characteristics.
Wall height: Walls up to 4 feet are simpler to construct. Walls higher than 4 feet require anchor systems and reinforcement, increasing cost by 30-50%.
Soil type: Sandy and silty soils require deeper foundation. Rocky formations complicate excavation and increase labor costs.
Groundwater level: High groundwater level requires reinforced drainage system to prevent water pressure on structure.
Drainage system: Proper drainage installation is critical for wall longevity. Drainage pipes and geotextile add $15-30 per linear foot.
Site terrain: Steep slopes require additional equipment and safety measures. Multi-level terracing increases project complexity.
Wall length: Retaining wall length directly affects material and work volume. Projects over 50 feet may receive discount.
Site accessibility: Limited equipment access for excavation increases labor costs by 20-40%. Manual excavation is significantly more expensive.
New construction vs repair: Repairing an existing wall typically costs 40-60% less than constructing a new structure.
