Engineered Retaining Walls

For walls over 4 feet or properties with significant grade change, we coordinate engineering and permitting to ensure long-term stability and compliance.

Glacial Till, Clay & Lake Washington Rain

Built for Mercer Island Soil & Weather Conditions

Mercer Island’s soil composition includes glacial till and clay-heavy areas that expand and contract with moisture.

Without proper drainage, retaining walls can:

  • Bow outward

  • Crack under hydrostatic pressure

  • Shift due to soil saturation

  • Fail during heavy winter rains

Seeing any of these on your property? Read the warning signs of a failing wall or call Angel for an on-site assessment.
