Serving Rexburg, ID and surrounding areas. (208) 356-7637
Soil sliding toward your home or yard washing away every spring? We build reinforced concrete retaining walls that hold their position through Rexburg winters for decades.
Concrete retaining walls in Rexburg hold back soil on a slope so it does not slide, erode, or push toward your foundation or driveway - most residential walls take one to three days to build and are engineered to last 40 or more years when drainage is done right.
If you have a slope that loses soil every spring, or a hillside lot where part of your yard is too steep to use, a concrete retaining wall is the permanent fix. A lot of homeowners in Rexburg try to manage erosion with landscaping first, but once the ground is moving, plants alone rarely stop it. Concrete gives you a hard boundary that does not shift.
We also handle concrete floor installation for garages and basements if your project involves both a wall and interior slab work.
If bare patches appear on a hillside or soil collects at the bottom of a slope after rain, your yard is eroding. In Rexburg, spring snowmelt can accelerate this quickly - what looks like a minor issue in March can become a significant slope failure by May. A retaining wall stops the movement for good.
A wall that tilts forward even slightly means soil pressure is winning. Horizontal cracks across the face - especially near the middle - signal the wall is bending under load. In Rexburg's freeze-thaw winters, a compromised wall often gets worse fast once cold weather arrives. Waiting makes the repair larger and more expensive.
If water consistently collects near your home's foundation after rain or spring thaw, the grade of your yard may be directing water toward your house instead of away from it. A retaining wall combined with regrading can redirect that water and protect your foundation from long-term moisture damage.
Many newer Rexburg subdivisions were built on terrain with significant grade changes, leaving yards that are too steep to mow safely or too uneven for a patio. A retaining wall creates flat, usable terraces from what would otherwise be wasted space. If part of your yard has felt off-limits because of the slope, a wall can open it up.
We build poured concrete and concrete masonry unit walls for residential properties across the Rexburg area. Every wall includes a footing set below the local frost line, steel reinforcement inside the concrete, gravel backfill for drainage, and weep holes so water has a path out before it can build pressure behind the wall. We also handle the permit process with the City of Rexburg from application through inspection.
For properties where concrete work extends to other areas, we connect retaining wall projects with related services like concrete floor installation for garages and basements, as well as concrete footings when a project requires structural support work alongside the wall. Combining scopes in one visit typically saves on mobilization costs and keeps your project on a single timeline.
Best suited for taller walls or sites with heavy soil loads - cast-in-place concrete gives you maximum strength and design flexibility.
A good fit for mid-height garden and landscape walls where access is limited or a more textured appearance is preferred.
Ideal for hillside lots with large elevation changes - multiple shorter walls in a stepped layout can be more cost-effective and visually better than one tall wall.
For yards where slope and drainage need to be addressed together - we regrade, install the wall, and ensure water moves away from your foundation.
Rexburg sits at roughly 4,800 feet elevation, and the ground here freezes to a depth of around 30 inches in a hard winter. That freeze-thaw cycle is one of the most common reasons retaining walls fail in this area - a wall with its footing above that depth will shift a little every winter and eventually lean or crack. The volcanic soil composition of the Snake River Plain also creates unpredictable drainage patterns, so a contractor who knows how water moves through local soil can design backfill and drainage that actually holds up through the annual cycle. International Code Council building standards require permits for walls over certain heights - and Rexburg enforces those thresholds.
Rexburg has also grown fast over the past decade, with new subdivisions built on hillside lots and terrain with significant grade changes. A lot of homeowners in those neighborhoods are discovering their yards need retaining walls to become usable. Across the service area - from Rigby to Salmon - we see the same challenges: slopes that lose soil every spring and foundations that take on water when drainage is not part of the original design. We build walls that fix both problems at once.
We visit your property to look at the slope, soil, water movement, and equipment access before quoting. You will receive a written estimate within one business day that breaks down labor, materials, and permit fees separately.
We handle the permit application with the City of Rexburg on your behalf. Plan for one to two weeks for city review before construction starts - we will confirm the exact timeline once the application is in.
We excavate below the frost line - roughly 30 inches in Rexburg - and prepare the footing base. This step involves equipment on your property, so we mark utility lines through Idaho 811 before any digging starts.
After forming and pouring the wall with steel reinforcement, we pack gravel behind it and install weep holes for drainage. Concrete cures about one week before backfilling, then the area is restored and the site cleaned up.

(208) 356-7637In Madison County, the frost line runs roughly 30 inches deep. Every wall we build has its footing below that depth so freeze-thaw cycles do not shift or crack the wall over time. This is the detail that separates walls that last from walls that lean.
We file the permit with the City of Rexburg, coordinate the inspection, and hand you the paperwork when the job is done. Your wall is on record as built to code - which matters if you ever sell your home or a neighbor questions the work.
Rexburg sits on volcanic soil that drains unpredictably. We assess drainage at your specific site before we design the gravel backfill and weep hole placement - a step many contractors skip that is one of the main reasons walls here fail prematurely.
We give you a written, itemized quote that covers excavation, materials, permit fees, and cleanup. The number you agree to is the number you pay. No vague line items that grow once the crew is on-site.
Every one of those points comes down to the same thing: a wall that works the way it should for decades, with no permit headaches and no budget surprises along the way. American Concrete Institute guidelines inform how we mix, reinforce, and cure every pour so the finished wall meets the standards engineers and inspectors expect.
