Crete's hillside streets above the Big Blue River are full of homes on sloped lots, many with old limestone walls holding up the yard. If your wall is leaning, cracked, or bulging, you're not alone. We've worked on these grades for years.
Homeowners in Crete (68333) call Lincoln Retaining Wall because we understand the local ground: dense clay that swells, freeze-thaw cycles that push walls out, and spring storms that test every drainage system. Whether you're near the college or up on the hills, we can help.
Retaining Wall in Crete (68333)
Crete's terrain is defined by the Big Blue River and the hills that rise above it. Many homes sit on sloped lots where a retaining wall is the only thing keeping the yard from sliding. The soil here is heavy clay till that holds water and expands, which puts constant pressure on older walls. We see a lot of limestone walls built decades ago that are now leaning or have cracked mortar. We also see railroad tie walls that have rotted out and segmental block walls that were installed without proper drainage. Our team knows how to handle these conditions, from proper footing depth to gravel backfill and drain tile that moves water away from the wall.
We've served Crete and the surrounding Lincoln area for years, and we understand the local building department's requirements for walls over four feet. We also know the access challenges on narrow hillside streets and the importance of coordinating with neighbors when a wall sits near a property line.

How a Job Works in Crete
Step 1: You call us at (531) 324-5728 or fill out our contact form. We'll schedule a free on-site assessment at your Crete property. We'll look at the wall, the slope, the drainage, and any access issues, then give you a written estimate with options.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the necessary permits (if required) and schedule the work. On tight hillside lots, we plan carefully for equipment access and material delivery. We keep the site organized and protect your landscaping as much as possible.
Step 3: When the job is done, we clean up thoroughly, haul away debris, and walk the finished wall with you. We don't leave until you're satisfied and understand how to maintain the wall and drainage.
