“Our backyard sloped so badly we couldn't use half of it. Lincoln Retaining Wall put in a block wall about 40 feet long and now we have a flat, usable yard. Crew of three knocked it out in two days and left the site cleaner than they found it.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“They built a natural stone wall along our front landscaping and it looks like it's been there for decades. Honestly relieved, the previous owner had a rotting timber wall and I was dreading the cost. Worth every penny.”
Boulder & Natural Stone Walls
“Had an old railroad tie wall that was basically crumbling into the driveway. They tore it out and replaced it with a segmental block wall in under a week. Only gripe is the schedule slipped by a couple days, but the finished wall is solid and the drainage was done right.”
Retaining Wall Replacement
“Our retaining wall was leaning scary bad after all that spring rain and I figured we'd have to replace the whole thing. They repaired it, fixed the drainage behind it, and saved us thousands. Genuinely grateful.”
Leaning & Collapsed Wall Repair
“We had erosion washing out the hill behind the house every time it rained. Lincoln Retaining Wall built a stone wall with proper drainage and it hasn't budged through two storms since. Impressed with how they explained everything before starting.”
Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control
“Got a poured concrete wall installed along our walkout basement, roughly 30 feet. Crew was professional, cleaned up every bit of the mess, and the price came in right where they quoted. Would use them again without hesitation.”

Homeowners searching for a retaining wall contractor near me in Lincoln need a crew that understands why walls fail here, not just how to stack block. Lincoln Retaining Wall is the local resource for new wall installation, repair, and replacement on sloped and hillside residential lots. Our network of insured local contractors handles everything from a bowed wall behind a Havelock bungalow to a new tiered wall on a walkout lot in south Lincoln.
The soil is the story. Expansive glacial clay till holds water, swells through freeze-thaw, and pushes against saturated backfill, which is the number one wall killer in this region. We serve Lincoln and surrounding areas including Hickman, Bennet, Firth, and Seward. If you need a wall assessed or built, start with a free estimate and get a straight answer about what your site needs.
Most retaining wall problems in Lincoln trace back to water and pressure. Leaning and bowing walls usually mean hydrostatic pressure has built up in saturated backfill, and the expansive clay soil common here makes it worse by swelling against the wall. Cracking and bulging are signs that the wall is being pushed beyond what its block or concrete can resist. When weep holes and French drains clog or were never installed, water has nowhere to go, so it loads the wall from behind.
Sinking and settling point to an undersized footing or poor compaction during the original build. Collapse after heavy rain often follows years of ignored drainage issues. A small lean is not cosmetic: every inch of movement reduces the wall's capacity, and once a section shifts, the failure accelerates. That is why we treat leaning and collapsed wall repair as urgent work, not a cosmetic fix. Call (531) 324-5728 if a wall is moving.
Our Retaining Wall Repair service addresses the cause, not just the symptom, from drainage correction to tieback anchors and footing repair. For walls that are too far gone, we scope replacement honestly. Reach out through our free estimate page and we will tell you what is repairable and what is not.
Material choice should follow the site, not the other way around. Block & Segmental Retaining Walls using Allan Block, Versa-Lok, or Keystone systems are the workhorse for residential yards, with geogrid reinforcement for taller walls. Concrete Retaining Walls in poured or reinforced CMU form suit driveways and garage grades where surcharge loads are higher. Boulder & Natural Stone Walls fit older gardens and naturalized slopes, while Timber Retaining Walls are budget-friendly but have a shorter lifespan in our freeze-thaw cycles. Every wall we build includes proper drainage aggregate, filter fabric, and weep holes.
Retaining walls are typically quoted per square foot of wall face, and the range depends on material, wall height, excavation and drainage work, site access, and whether engineering is required. A short garden wall and a tall tiered wall with geogrid and a French drain are very different projects. Final pricing depends on site conditions, so we assess the soil, slope, and drainage before quoting.
For a general overview of typical ranges, see our pricing page, then request a free estimate for numbers specific to your property.
Permit rules for retaining walls are set locally, and they are worth checking before any work begins. In most jurisdictions, walls over about four feet (measured from the footing) require a permit, but thresholds vary by city. Commonly, a permit and engineered drawings are needed for taller walls or walls supporting a surcharge such as a driveway, and setback and property-line rules may also apply.
Requirements vary, so always verify with the Lincoln building or planning department before starting your project. If you have questions about how permitting affects your timeline, contact us and we can walk through the process.
