Summary

A homeowner in Pittsburgh needed a failing retaining wall removed and replaced. We were called to rebuild the wall safely with updated materials to keep the property secure and looking neat.

The Work

Took down the existing retaining wall and cleared away old materials
Used a mini skid steer for efficient site preparation
Installed a new base and constructed a 17-foot wall
Built the wall using Versa-Lok block or similar, based on material availability

The Outcome

The property now has a sturdy, well-built retaining wall that blends with the surroundings and supports the landscape. This upgrade gives lasting stability and restores peace of mind for the homeowner.
