Retaining Walls · Rogue River

Retaining Walls for Rogue River properties

Rogue River homeowners call us for poured concrete, block and boulder retaining walls with drainage behind them. Our crew is licensed, bonded and insured (Oregon CCB #260341), and every Rogue River job starts with a free estimate.

On the valley floor a lot of the work is driveways, patios and walks that have cracked, settled or lifted over the years, pool decks that have gone rough and slick, and garages ready for a real floor coating. Parts of the valley sit on clay that swells when the winter rain comes and shrinks in a dry August, so the base under new concrete matters.

Customers mention honest answers, great communication, finishing on time and on budget, and a crew that leaves the site clean.

What's included

Retaining Walls we do in Rogue River

  • 01

    Poured concrete retaining walls

    Formed and poured walls with rebar tied from the footing into the wall, for tall cuts, driveway edges and spots that carry the most load.

  • 02

    Block retaining walls

    Segmental block walls on a compacted base with geogrid where the height calls for it, and reinforced concrete block walls on a poured footing.

  • 03

    Boulder and rock walls

    Stacked boulder and rock walls for hillside yards and rural slopes, set in tiers when one tall wall would be too much.

  • 04

    Drainage behind the wall

    Drain rock, filter fabric and perforated pipe run to daylight, plus weep holes in poured walls, so water leaves instead of pushing on the wall.

  • 05

    Hillside and terraced lots

    Terraced walls that turn a steep lot into level beds, a patio spot or a parking area, with steps built in where you walk.

  • 06

    Wall repair and replacement

    Cracked poured walls sealed by epoxy injection or routing and sealing, and leaning or rotted walls torn out, hauled off and rebuilt.

Jackson County

Retaining Walls around Rogue River

We work all over Rogue River — near Ponderosa Park, Classick Bicentennial Park and Fielder Mountain — and throughout Jackson County.

Rogue River is a small city on the Rogue River and I-5, between Gold Hill and Grants Pass. Rogue River is about 22 miles southwest of Shady Cove, well inside our 40-mile service area.

Concrete in Southern Oregon takes strong summer sun, wet winters and frost on the colder nights, and parts of the Rogue Valley sit on clay that moves with the seasons. New concrete holds up when it sits on a compacted base with steel where it needs it, sheds water away from the house and has joints cut where cracks are meant to go. A coating holds up when the surface under it is ground or blasted clean first.

How it works

How your Rogue River retaining wall job works

  1. 1

    Free on-site estimate

    We walk the slope, look at the soil and where the water goes, and talk through wall types with you. The estimate is free.

  2. 2

    Design and permits

    We choose the wall type, height and drainage for your site and check the rules with the city or Jackson or Josephine County. Taller walls and walls that hold up a driveway or building often need an engineered design and a permit, and we take care of both.

  3. 3

    Dig and set the base

    We excavate to firm ground, then pour the footing with steel or build the compacted base the wall sits on.

  4. 4

    Build, drain and backfill

    We build the wall, place drain rock and pipe behind it, backfill in compacted layers and grade the top to shed water. The crew cleans up before we leave.

Customer reviews

What our customers say

  • “I hired Concrete Coating Enterprises LLC to do extensive concrete work on my family’s historic 1920s log cabin, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The cabin had significant cracks and issues with its original concrete floors. They removed the damaged sections, properly prepared the foundation, and poured new concrete in the kitchen and dining areas. They also created beautiful custom brick landings, curved steps, and charcoal-colored concrete walkways incorporating original natural stones from our family property. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship are outstanding! What I appreciated just as much as the quality of their work was their excellent communication, reliability, and professionalism. They showed up when expected, kept me informed throughout the project, listened to my ideas, and worked with me to achieve the look I wanted. Renovating a cabin over 100 years old comes with unexpected challenges, and they handled the work with care, patience, and pride.”

  • “I had collected about three or four different estimates and Tim's price was lowest. I determined to see why it was lowest and see if I could endure that. Instead, what I discovered is Tim's job was way more than anybody else was offering instead of setting a 6 inch beam in my Spa slab. He said a 12 inch beam and he increased the rebar to half inch. But it really impressed me was another job he did for me on the sidewalk where the same as with the spa he used 4 inches of crushed rock compacted before he lay his forms out and then instead of using wire he actually use rebar. Basically he's an old-fashioned guy working in today's times where his work is more important than his profits.”

  • “We hired Tim to extend our pool deck and resurface our existing pool deck. Tim is reliable and is very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a concrete guy, Tim is your man.”

  • “Tim was undoubtedly our best choice for a concrete floor on which to build a shed/storage building. They not only arrived on time and as promised, but their staff was always very friendly, helpful, and courteous. Best of all, they did an exceptional job. In the end, the concrete floor turned out even better than we expected, and they also left our backyard spotless after packing up all their tools. We would definitely hire Concrete Coating Enterprises again and highly recommend them.”

  • “This company is very professional and finished the job quickly. Tim is honest and knowledgeable as he addressed any questions in a timely manner. He even came back a couple days after the concrete hardened and pressure washed both areas at no cost. Thank you!”

Questions

Retaining Walls in Rogue River: FAQs

Do you do retaining walls in Rogue River, OR?

Yes. Rogue River is about 22 miles southwest of Shady Cove, well inside our 40-mile service area. We handle poured concrete, block and boulder retaining walls with drainage behind them there, and the estimate is free.

Do I need a permit for retaining walls in Rogue River?

It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the City of Rogue River's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.

Why do retaining walls fail in the Rogue Valley?

Water, mostly. Wet winters saturate the soil behind a wall, expansive clay in parts of the valley swells and pushes, and decomposed granite on the hillsides can wash out from under a weak base. Freeze-thaw at higher spots like Shady Cove, Prospect and Butte Falls adds to it. We build every wall with drainage behind it and a footing or base on firm ground.

How much does a retaining wall cost?

It depends on the height and length, the wall type, how much digging and haul-off the site needs, and how easy it is to get equipment to the spot. A short garden wall in an open yard is a very different job from a tall poured wall at the bottom of a steep lot. We look at the slope and give you a free estimate, and we accept credit cards.

Poured concrete, block or boulder: which is right for my yard?

It comes down to height, space and the look you want. Poured concrete is the strongest option for tall walls and tight spots next to a driveway or foundation, block gives a clean finished face for most yard walls, and boulders suit larger rural slopes. We build all three, so we recommend the one that fits your site.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?

Sometimes. It depends on the wall's height and what it holds up, such as a driveway, a building or a slope above a neighbor. We check the rules with the city or Jackson or Josephine County and handle the permit and any engineered design the wall needs.
