Retaining Walls
Poured Concrete Retaining Walls in Portland, OR
Poured, or cast-in-place, concrete retaining walls are the strongest option we build — the right call for tall walls, walls carrying a surcharge load like a driveway or structure above, and projects that want clean, modern lines. Reinforced with steel and cast as a continuous monolithic structure, a poured wall handles loads that stacked systems can't.
Structural concrete leaves no room for shortcuts. We build on the correct footing depth, place rebar to engineered plans, form precisely, and pour and cure to spec — with drainage and weep provisions behind the wall so water can't build pressure against it. Where the height or load requires it, we coordinate engineering and permits and pour to code.
A poured concrete wall can be finished smooth, board-formed, or faced with stone or block veneer for a decorative look over a structural core. Whether you need a tall structural wall, a foundation-style wall, or a sleek modern feature, our crews deliver a wall built to last.

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