Retaining wall supplier
Shore Enough builds and repairs retaining walls in Tulare, CA. We work with block, natural stone, timber, and poured concrete, and we handle the drainage behind the wall so water doesn't push it out of place. We also supply material for property owners who want to build their own wall.

- We show up for the walkthrough at the time we set.

Questions we get asked
How do I know if I need a retaining wall or just regrading?
If the slope is holding and just needs reshaping, grading alone might work. If soil is already sliding, cracking, or pressing against a structure, you need a wall. We can look at the site and tell you which one you're dealing with.
What material should I use for my wall?
Block works well for walls up to a few feet and gives a clean, even face. Stone costs more in labor but fits a natural look. Timber suits low walls and garden beds, and poured concrete is for taller or heavier-load sections.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Tulare?
That depends on the height of the wall and what's around it. The Tulare County building department can tell you if your specific wall needs one. We'll give you the height and specs so you can check with them.
How do you keep water from pushing the wall over?
We put gravel backfill and a perforated drain pipe behind the wall before we finish it. That lets water move through instead of building up pressure behind the wall face.
Can a leaning or bulging wall be fixed, or does it need to be rebuilt?
A small lean in a short section can sometimes be reset. If the base has shifted or the bulge runs across a long stretch, it usually needs to come out and be rebuilt with proper drainage and base.
How long does a retaining wall project take?
It depends on the length and height of the wall and what the site needs first – excavation, drainage, base prep. A short garden wall moves faster than a tall wall holding back a slope next to a driveway.
