Retaining Wall Construction in Chattanooga, TN

Your property likely needs a retaining wall if you see soil washing downhill after rain, a slope pushing toward your home, or a yard that pools water at the base of a grade. These are common signs on sloped lots throughout Hamilton County.

Yes, STESSA Construction serves Ooltewah, Soddy Daisy, Hixson, East Ridge, Harrison, Apison, and all surrounding communities. We also work in Cleveland, Georgetown, McDonald, and into Cherokee County and Centre, AL.

Most retaining wall failures come from poor drainage behind the wall or a footing that is too shallow for the soil load. We plan drainage into every wall we build so water pressure does not build up and push the structure out of place.

A retaining wall can turn a sloped, hard-to-use yard into a level area for a patio, lawn, or garden. Many properties in Hixson and Harrison have grade changes that make outdoor space impractical without a structural wall.

Masonry retaining walls work well on properties with significant grade changes, heavy clay soil, or where a finished appearance matters alongside structural performance. We assess the slope and soil conditions at your Cleveland or Bradley County property before recommending an approach.

We evaluate your site, plan the footing depth and drainage for your specific slope, then build the wall course by course with quality checked at every stage. Our real estate background means we treat your finished property the way we would want our own handled.
