Gunite & Shotcrete
Retaining Wall Construction

We specialize in structural retaining walls using shotcrete and gunite. This includes gravity walls, soil nail walls, foundation support walls, and walls for slope stabilization and erosion control. These types of walls are commonly used in hillside developments, residential backyards, commercial sites, roadways, and public infrastructure. Because shotcrete and gunite are applied pneumatically, they allow for efficient construction and strong, monolithic structures that follow the contours of the site. Our team can work directly from engineering plans or collaborate with contractors and developers to determine the best application for your project.

Retaining walls are typically needed when there is a noticeable change in elevation on your property or when soil needs to be held back safely. You might need a retaining wall if you are building into a hillside, developing a sloped site, experiencing erosion, or trying to create flat, usable areas for construction, landscaping, or driveways. Retaining walls also play a vital role in protecting foundations, improving drainage, and meeting local building code requirements. If you are unsure whether your site requires one, we can review your project and provide guidance based on your plans, terrain, and structural needs.

We focus exclusively on the construction and shotcrete or gunite application for retaining walls. While we do not provide in-house engineering, we frequently work with engineers, architects, and general contractors to bring their designs to life. If you do not yet have an engineered plan in place, we are happy to refer you to a qualified local engineer who can assist. Once plans are approved, we handle the structural application with the equipment, crew, and techniques needed to complete the job safely, efficiently, and to spec.

Yes. While many of our retaining wall projects are part of larger construction jobs and come through contractors or engineers, we also work directly with property owners. If you are a homeowner dealing with sloped land, drainage issues, or planning to build on a hillside, we can work with you to coordinate the retaining wall portion of your project. We are happy to consult with your builder or refer you to trusted professionals to help move your project forward smoothly.

We serve clients throughout Northern California and Western Nevada. Our primary service areas include Sacramento, San Francisco, Redding, Reno, Carson City, and the surrounding regions. Because we are equipped for both small residential and large commercial or public works projects, we are flexible when it comes to travel for the right scope of work. If you are located just outside one of our main service zones, feel free to contact us and we will let you know if we can accommodate your location.
