Grade walls between tight lot lines

Shared side yards in Skokie load short retaining walls until they lean. We rebuild failing sections with drainage and correct footing so soil stays put without encroaching on neighboring walks after the ground thaws.

Our process

  1. 1 We will visit for an assessment If your wall is tilting, cracking, or bulging, give us a call and we will come out to walk the site with you. We will describe in simple terms what's occurring and what's required to restore safety. The visit is complimentary, with no obligation to decide immediately.
  2. 2 Understanding why walls fail locally Most walls we repair across the North Shore succumb to water, not simply age. Rain and melting snow accumulate behind the wall, freeze, and push it forward incrementally each winter. We address drainage first—adding gravel, a drain pipe, and weep holes—so the repair genuinely lasts.
  3. 3 Meticulous work, a tidy yard Whether your wall needs a section rebuilt or a full replacement, we work cleanly and respectfully around your garden and lawn. We salvage and reuse original stone or block whenever feasible. When we depart, the only evidence we were there is a wall standing straight once more.
