Mason, Tennessee is a small town in Tipton County where the lots roll with the land, and the soil is that fine, wind-blown loess that shifts when it gets wet. If you live near the Mason City Park or along Highway 70, you know how quickly a heavy rain can cut into a slope or leave a wall leaning.
Homeowners in Mason (38049) call Memphis Retaining Wall because we understand this ground. We have fixed walls on the erodible bluffs and bottomlands around town, and we know that a retaining wall here is not just a pretty border; it is what keeps your yard and foundation from sliding away.
Retaining Wall in Mason (38049)
Mason sits on some of the most erodible soil in West Tennessee. The loess here is deep and silty, and when it gets saturated, it slumps. Many properties in Mason have slopes that run toward creeks or drainage channels, and the water table can be high in low spots. Older homes around the town square often have railroad tie or timber walls that are rotting and pushing out. Newer subdivisions on the edges of town have segmental block walls that may not have been built with proper drainage. We see a lot of leaning walls, cracked block, and washouts after spring storms. The key is to get the water away from the wall and to build a footing that goes below the frost line and into stable soil.
Our team has worked on walls all over Tipton County, from small garden walls to large slope stabilization projects. We know the local suppliers and the equipment needed to get into tight spots. Whether it is a simple repair or a full replacement, we bring the experience to do it right.
