About Clackamas County

Retaining Walls in Clackamas County

Clackamas County covers a wide swath of the southern Portland metro, from Lake Oswego and West Linn to Happy Valley, Oregon City, Wilsonville, Milwaukie, and the Clackamas area. The county's upscale neighborhoods, hillside lots, and fast-growing communities create strong demand for quality retaining walls and slope reclamation — and Oregon Retaining Walls serves it all.

Across Clackamas County we build block, natural stone, and boulder retaining walls, tiered and terraced systems, garden and seating walls, and outdoor steps. The county's sloped lots and wet winters make grading, drainage, engineering, and base prep especially important, and we build every wall to last.

From the lakeside neighborhoods of Lake Oswego to the growing hills of Happy Valley, Oregon Retaining Walls is your dependable, fully-insured retaining wall contractor. Contact us for a free on-site consultation in Clackamas County.

Reviews

What Clackamas County Homeowners Say

Oregon Retaining Walls rebuilt a failing timber wall in our backyard with a beautiful tiered block wall. The crew was professional, on time, and you could tell the drainage and base work was done right. Best contractor we've worked with in Portland.

We had a natural stone retaining wall and matching steps installed and could not be happier. They took the time to get the design exactly right, and the craftsmanship is top notch. Turned a useless slope into our favorite part of the yard.

Needed a tall engineered block wall to hold back the hillside above our driveway. ORW handled the engineering and permits, built in the drainage and geogrid, and it passed inspection with no issues. Clean work and great communication start to finish.

Our new boulder wall and stone steps completely transformed the front of the house and stopped the erosion we'd been fighting for years. The install was fast and clean, and it looks fantastic. Thank you Oregon Retaining Walls!

Our Process

How We Work in Clackamas County

Step 1

Free Consultation

We meet you at your property to walk the slope, learn your goals, and talk through wall style, materials, height, and budget.

Step 2

Design & Engineering

You get a clear design and a detailed written estimate covering material, height, drainage, and reinforcement — engineered where the height or load requires it, so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 3

Excavation, Base & Drainage

Our crews excavate and compact an engineered gravel base, set a level leveling pad, and build in drainage — perforated drain pipe and clean gravel backfill — the parts that keep an Oregon wall standing for decades.

Step 4

Build, Backfill & Finish

We set each course level and true, add geogrid reinforcement where needed, backfill and compact in lifts, cap the wall, and clean the site — then walk the finished project with you.

FAQ

Clackamas County Retaining Wall Questions

Do you serve all of Clackamas County?
Yes — we serve every city and unincorporated area within Clackamas County. From segmental block and natural stone walls to boulder walls, tiered systems, and outdoor steps, we build across the entire county.
How does permitting work in Clackamas County?
Permitting depends on your specific city or whether you're in an unincorporated area — each jurisdiction has its own building department, and taller or surcharge-loaded walls typically need engineering and a permit. We coordinate all engineering and permitting when required as part of our service.
What does a retaining wall cost in Clackamas County?
Costs vary by wall length and height, material, site access, and drainage and reinforcement needs. A low decorative garden wall may start in the low thousands, while a tall engineered wall holding back a major slope runs higher. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed pricing tailored to your project.
How soon can you start a project in Clackamas County?
Typical lead time from contract signing to construction start is 1–3 weeks, depending on material availability, any required engineering, and crew scheduling. We provide a firm start date during the consultation.
Are you licensed and insured to work in OR?
Yes. Oregon Retaining Walls is fully licensed (OR CCB #219290, WA #WESTEPD820D), bonded, and insured with comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation coverage on every project.
Do you offer a warranty on your projects?
Wall materials carry their manufacturer warranty, and our craftsmanship warranty — backed through the Western Paver Design family — covers installation quality. Specific terms are outlined in your project agreement. See our Warranty page for the full policy.
