Why Clarksville Properties Require Engineered Retaining Walls
Clarksville sits at Caesar Creek's headwaters — drainage problems here start before the creek even has a name.
COMMON SYMPTOMS WE FIX IN CLARKSVILLE
Why is my retaining wall leaning forward?
This is caused by a massive buildup of hydrostatic pressure. If a wall is built without an engineered drainage system in the backfill zone, trapped water weight will eventually push it over.
Why is dirt washing out from under my wall?
Severe base erosion undermines the structural footing of heavy masonry. This rapid washout is a clear indicator that the internal geotextile filtration fabric has failed.
What happens if a retaining wall fails?
A collapsing wall poses a massive structural, financial, and legal liability. We terrace unstable land permanently using structural geogrids and deep aggregate bases to prevent mudslides.
"Shawn's Landscape & Design did an outstanding job fixing a serious drainage problem in our yard. We had standing water near the foundation and no other companies would even call me back, but Shawn came out at 7pm in the cold rain."
