Common Applications
Why Choose D and D Excavation for Retaining Wall Preparation?
A retaining wall is only as good as the base it sits on. We excavate wall footings to engineer specifications, install proper drainage stone and weeping tile behind the wall area, and ensure the subgrade is compacted and level. Our preparation work prevents the settling, tilting, and drainage failures that plague walls built on poorly prepared ground—saving you from expensive rebuilds down the road.
