Why Elowsky
Engineered for Michigan's Soil Conditions
Retaining walls in Michigan must be engineered to handle freeze-thaw cycles, hydrostatic pressure, and Oakland County's clay-heavy soils. Poorly built walls lean, crack, and fail — often within just a few years.
Our retaining walls are built with proper drainage, appropriate batter (backward lean), and compacted base materials. Walls over 4 feet require engineering review, which we coordinate as part of our process.
- Proper drainage behind all walls
- Engineered base preparation
- Multiple material options (block, natural stone, timber)
- Walls over 4' include engineering review
- 1-year workmanship warranty
