Retaining Wall Installation & Repair in Central Indiana
Holding back a grade in Indiana clay takes more than stacking block. Mann Excavation & Sitework builds block and boulder retaining walls on a compacted stone base with drainage behind them, and rebuilds walls that were not — across Danville, Avon, Brownsburg, Plainfield, and Central Indiana.
What We Build
How We Build a Wall That Stays Put
Read the grade and the water
Where the water comes from matters more than the block. We look at the slope above and below the wall and where runoff needs to go.
Excavate and compact the base
The trench is cut below grade and a compacted stone base is set level — this is what keeps a wall from settling and leaning.
Set the block or stone
Courses are laid level, stepped back or battered into the hill, and locked to the design height.
Drainage behind the wall
Clean drainage stone and a drain line behind the wall give water somewhere to go instead of pushing on the face.
Backfill and finish grade
Backfill is placed in lifts and the area above and below is graded so runoff moves past the wall, not into it.
