From first call to final walkthrough—here’s what to expect when you work with us.
We assess the slope, soil conditions, and load requirements to design the right wall for your situation — height, reinforcement, footing depth, and drainage.
We excavate for the footing, prepare the base, and pour a reinforced footing to give the wall a stable foundation.
We form and pour the wall with proper rebar reinforcement, ensuring adequate thickness and strength for the anticipated load.
Drainage provisions are installed behind the wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup. Backfill is placed and compacted in lifts.
A retaining wall that fails doesn't just look bad — it can cause real damage to your property. Oklahoma soil conditions, combined with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain events, put significant pressure on retaining walls. Getting the structure and drainage right from the start is critical.
Oklahoma's Concrete Specialists builds concrete retaining walls that are designed to hold for the long term. We factor in the height and load requirements, proper reinforcement, drainage provisions behind the wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure, and solid footing work.
Whether you need a small wall to terrace a garden bed or a larger structural wall to manage a significant grade change on your property, we bring 40+ years of experience and the same commitment to quality materials and workmanship that goes into every project we build.
Properly reinforced concrete retaining walls outlast block and timber alternatives — especially in Oklahoma's variable soil and weather conditions.
Most wall failures come from water pressure. We address drainage at the time of construction — not as an afterthought.
We've built retaining walls across central Oklahoma and know what the soil and climate demand from a wall structure.
Water that collects behind a retaining wall creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes outward on the structure. Without drainage relief — weep holes, drainage aggregate, or a drain pipe — that pressure builds until the wall cracks or fails. We install proper drainage on every retaining wall project.
A properly built concrete retaining wall with adequate drainage can last 50+ years. The most common failure modes — cracking, leaning, blowout — are almost always the result of poor drainage or inadequate reinforcement at installation.
Permit requirements vary by municipality and wall height. Walls above a certain height typically require permits in Norman and surrounding areas. We can help you understand what's required for your specific project.
Based in Norman, we bring quality concrete work to 44+ communities across central Oklahoma.
“Great Company for any of your concrete needs. Professional and reliable.”
“Miguel and his family did a great job with our water drainage. We originally wanted a short drain but changed our minds and Miguel and his crew were so sweet and patient with us. They were happy to help out. We can always count on the best work done with loving kindness and smiles! Thanks so much for all of your hard work!”
“Miguel and his family (Dad, brother, son) just finished a patio addition on Wednesday (6/4, in between rain storms). They dug and framed the job on Monday. Tuesday, Miguel came back with 4 mil plastic and covered the site, because storms were predicted later that day and night. Wednesday, mid-morning, they all came to finish the prep work and began the pour about 11:00. By 5:00 they had the worksite cleaned of all their forms and tools, and the finished patio looks wonderful. Miguel was easy to work with. He communicated with us every step of the project. He showed up when he said he would, and he did everything he said he would do. We appreciated the fact that their crew worked hard and worked together to do a great job. We also appreciated the fact that there was no vulgar or harsh words heard during the 2 full days they were working. There was NO cussing or bad attitudes. They came highly recommended to us, and we HIGHLY recommend them to others.”
