Overview

The existing wall along the rear property line of a commercial yard had broken down and the grade behind it was washing into the yard. Gazelle removed the old wall and debris, excavated a footing along the fence line and built a new block retaining wall with drainage.

The Challenge

The work ran tight against a chain-link fence and a neighboring lot. The yard stayed in use for deliveries, so excavation spoil and block had to be staged so trucks could still get through.

The Work

Old wall and debris removed; trench excavated along the fence line; concrete block wall laid on a new base; drainage stone placed behind the wall; the yard regraded to the new wall.

Where It Stands

The yard has a straight, sound wall and the slope behind it no longer washes out. Completed June 2024.
