When a slope, planter, or shoreline edge starts creeping, a properly engineered concrete retaining wall is the cleanest way to lock in grade and protect your slab, driveway, or landscaping. Quality Concrete Hollywood has served Hollywood since 2019, building reinforced walls that drain correctly and hold up in South Florida weather.
Prep decides whether a concrete retaining wall stays plumb or slowly leans. We start by verifying property lines and wall location, then excavate to undisturbed soil and set the footing elevation for proper embedment. A compacted base (typically 4-6 inches of crushed stone) goes in with plate compaction, then we place formwork, set rebar cages (commonly #4 or #5) on chairs, and tie steel to spec. Footings and stems are poured monolithically when appropriate, or with a keyed joint and dowels when staged pours are required, using 3,000-4,000 psi concrete and a controlled slump for strength and finish quality.
Hollywood conditions demand drainage and corrosion-conscious detailing. Behind the wall we install a drainage layer, filter fabric, and perforated drain pipe to daylight or a proper outlet, plus weep holes where needed to relieve hydrostatic pressure. In salt air and frequent rain cycles, we pay close attention to rebar cover, consolidation with internal vibration, and clean tie-wire practices to reduce future rust staining. Finish options include smooth form-finish, light broom-finish caps and walk areas, or architectural textures where appearance matters, and we tool joints and edges for crack control and safer corners.
Customers in Hollywood choose us because we build retaining walls like structural concrete, not decorative landscaping. Our crew plans access for mixers and pumps, keeps the site organized, and pours with the right equipment for consistent consolidation and straight lines. You get clear scope, reinforcement details, and a written plan for backfill and drainage so the wall performs, not just looks good. As a licensed and insured concrete contractor, we keep communication tight and coordinate inspections and site constraints without slowing your schedule.
At the end, we walk the wall with you and verify alignment, height, cap details, and the drainage path before we backfill and grade. We review cure time, sealing options, and what to avoid during the first week so the concrete reaches strength without surface damage. You receive a clean work area, a wall built with rebar reinforcement and proper footing support, and a straightforward maintenance plan to keep water moving away from the structure. If the project also ties into steps, a slab, or a driveway edge, we can phase the work so elevations and finishes match.
Yes. We provide a free written estimate after reviewing the site conditions, access, elevations, and scope.
Yes. Quality Concrete Hollywood is licensed and insured for concrete contracting work.
Yes. We can sawcut, break, remove, and haul off existing concrete, then rebuild the base, forms, and reinforcement before the new pour.
In many cases, yes. We can match common finishes like broom-finish and light salt-finish, and we plan joint layout and edges to blend with adjacent flatwork.
Pricing depends on square footage, thickness, reinforcement, base work, demolition/haul-off, access, drainage corrections, and finish and sealing requirements. A site visit helps us give an accurate written number.
A concrete retaining wall is a structural solution for holding back soil, controlling erosion, and creating usable, level space for patios, driveways, walkways, and landscape beds. In Hollywood, FL, the combination of heavy rain, sandy soils, and high groundwater means the wall has to be built with the right footing, steel reinforcement, and drainage, not just stacked and backfilled. Quality Concrete Hollywood builds poured-in-place retaining walls designed for long-term stability and clean curb appeal.
Most retaining wall problems come from poor prep or trapped water. We excavate to stable subgrade, place a compacted crushed-stone base, and form a footing sized to the wall height and loads. Steel placement matters, so we use rebar chairs to maintain cover and we consolidate pours with internal vibration to reduce voids and honeycombing. When a wall needs to tie into an existing slab or footing, we core and epoxy dowels or drill and set rebar to create a stronger connection.
Drainage is not optional in South Florida. We build a free-draining zone behind the wall with clean rock, add geotextile fabric to keep fines out, and run a drain line with a proper outlet so hydrostatic pressure does not build up. Depending on layout, we include weep holes and grade the top of backfill to shed water away from the wall and nearby foundations.
If you need a concrete retaining wall for a residential yard, commercial property, or sitework package, we’ll walk the grade changes with you, confirm heights and finish goals, and provide a written estimate. The result is a retaining wall that is reinforced, drains correctly, and is finished to match the rest of your concrete flatwork.
