Retaining Walls for
More Usable Yard Space
A slope can leave parts of your yard difficult to reach or use. A retaining wall can create more defined levels for planting, lawn or seating, while helping separate changes in height around your property.
JJR Services builds new walls and reviews existing walls for replacement. With more than 10 years in business, we discuss the slope, wall layout and drainage before agreeing the scope. Your request can focus on the wall alone.

Why Build a Wall
Benefits of a Concrete Retaining Wall
More Usable Space
A retaining wall can create defined levels where a slope limits your options. That may provide room for planting, lawn or other uses suited to the site.
Less Erosion
A wall can help retain soil where loose ground moves toward paths or other areas. The surrounding grade and water flow still need to be considered.
Drainage Considerations
We review how water reaches and leaves the area behind the wall. A suitable drainage approach helps manage that water alongside the surrounding grade and site conditions.
Warning Signs
Signs Your Retaining Wall Needs Attention
LEANING OR TILTING
A wall that has started leaning away from the slope, with a visible change in angle along the top or face.
BULGING
An outward curve or bulge in the wall face that makes part of the wall sit beyond the surrounding sections.
CRACKS THAT WIDEN
Cracks that become wider or longer over time, especially where sections no longer line up as they did before.
WATER AT THE BASE
Wet ground, persistent seepage or puddles along the bottom of the wall after rain or snowmelt has passed through.
SOIL WASHING THROUGH
Soil escaping through joints or gaps, or spilling over the top and leaving bare patches on the ground behind it.

Call (720) 401-4933 or send the estimate form with your address and photos of the slope or the failing wall.
STEP 2
Plan the Wall
We review the slope, existing wall if present, access and water flow. The proposed layout and drainage approach are discussed before agreeing the scope.
STEP 3
Remove, Excavate and Build
Existing wall removal, excavation, base preparation and new wall construction follow the agreed scope. The accepted wall type, drainage method and any design requirements must be confirmed for the project.
STEP 4

Wall Layout Options
We review wall position, length and yard levels with you. The layout can focus on supporting a slope, replacing an existing wall or creating a more defined edge.
Base Preparation and Construction
We focus on site access, base preparation and wall construction. Materials and reinforcement where required are reviewed for the wall type and ground it will support.
Drainage Behind the Wall
We look at how water reaches and leaves the retained ground. Drainage is reviewed as part of the wall project, alongside the surrounding grade and existing site conditions.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Denver?
Denver requires a zoning permit for retaining walls over 12 inches high. Building permits apply to walls over four feet, and retaining walls over six feet require commercial engineering plan review. Site conditions or special designations may add requirements. Confirm the current requirements with Denver Community Planning and Development; other municipalities have their own rules.
Can you repair my retaining wall instead of replacing it?
That depends on the wall's condition and the cause of the problem. A surface issue is different from movement, bulging or worsening cracks. We can review the request, discuss the available scope and confirm whether JJR offers the work needed.
Why are concrete retaining walls a good choice?
Concrete retaining walls provide a defined edge between yard levels and can suit different residential layouts. The design, drainage and construction need to reflect the ground the wall will support.
Can a retaining wall be part of a bigger backyard project?
Yes, if those other features are part of your plans. A wall may be coordinated with steps, patios or a backyard build, but a wall-only request can also be reviewed. The required work depends on the site and agreed scope.
