Retaining Wall Construction in Minneapolis

A Retaining Wall Contractor Who Delivers

Whether you manage a large commercial facility or want to upgrade your home's outdoor space, finding a reliable retaining wall contractor is essential for long-term structural integrity. At ACT Asphalt Specialties, we are an experienced retaining wall builder serving the Twin Cities for over 40 years.

We specialize in problem-solving and creating beautiful landscape retaining walls that protect your property from erosion while adding distinct visual appeal. We believe in doing the job right the first time, ensuring that your property is safe, functional, and visually striking.

Expert Retaining Wall Installation & Drainage Solutions

A failing slope or poor grading can lead to severe water damage. Proper retaining wall installation requires precise engineering to handle massive soil weight and direct water safely away from your foundation. The ACT Asphalt Specialties team specializes in building walls that hold and manage water effectively.

• Custom Materials for Your Desired Look: We understand that every property is unique. We can build retaining walls from solid poured concrete for maximum commercial-grade strength, or we can create highly attractive paver retaining walls depending on the specific aesthetic you want for your residential property.
• Solving Drainage Problems: The most common issues with pavements and hardscapes are drainage problems. Our team is highly skilled at setting the right elevations and integrating custom drainage solutions, such as concrete swales at a half-percent slope, behind your walls to prevent water buildup and soil erosion.
• Residential & Commercial Expertise: From building a complex loading dock ramp with poured concrete walls in St. Paul to installing a decorative tiered garden bed in a residential backyard, our retaining wall construction services are perfect for both residential and commercial properties.

From Custom Design to Guaranteed Stability

ACT Asphalt Specialties delivers exceptional results and peace of mind for every project, treating your property with the utmost respect and earning 5-star reviews from our residential and commercial clients throughout the Twin Cities. Here is how we ensure your retaining wall is built to last.

Step 1: On-Site Consultation & Custom Design

We begin with a face-to-face appointment to evaluate your property's specific grading and drainage needs. During this consultation, we provide detailed, high-quality architectural project drawings so you know exactly what your new walls and drainage systems will look like before we ever break ground.

Step 2: Seamless In-House Execution

Because we manage both asphalt and concrete crews internally, we can coordinate the construction of your landscape retaining walls seamlessly alongside a new driveway or commercial parking lot. This in-house efficiency ensures strict quality control and saves you the massive hassle of coordinating with multiple outside subcontractors.

Step 3: Completion & 10-Year Protection

Once your wall is expertly installed, you can rest easy knowing your investment is secure. We proudly back our concrete workmanship with a one-of-a-kind 10-year warranty against breakup and settlement. If your wall fails structurally under warranty, we will repair the affected area to a structurally sound condition at no charge to you.

Common Questions About Retaining Walls

Do you build retaining walls for both homes and businesses?

Yes, our retaining wall installation services cover both residential homeowners and commercial property managers, adapting the design, materials, and strength to meet your specific structural load requirements.

Can I choose how the wall looks?

Absolutely. Depending on the look you want for your property, we can build functional, heavy-duty poured concrete walls or create highly attractive paver retaining walls to complement your landscaping.

How do retaining walls help with drainage?

We expertly design our walls to solve drainage issues by setting proper elevations and ensuring water is directed away from your property's foundation and paved surfaces. We often integrate specific drainage systems behind the wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up.
