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.

“Miguel and his workers were outstanding! Took down and rebuilt a carport in a timely manner, along with busting up old concrete and replacing it with new! They cleaned up after themselves and were very friendly and professional! Went above and beyond! Would highly recommend!!”
