Retaining Walls in North Dallas

North Dallas — from Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands out through the Park Cities corridor — sits on the same expansive clay that puts every retaining wall in the region to the test, and many of its established neighborhoods are full of aging walls now due for replacement.

North Dallas soil and slopes

The mature lots north of downtown often have real grade changes and decades-old landscape walls built with timber or early block. As those walls fail, the clay behind them keeps pushing — the reason a proper, drained, engineered wall matters here more than a quick patch.
