Lewisville sits just west of Winston-Salem where the rolling Piedmont hills get a little steeper and the lots get a little more wooded. The newer two-story homes off Shallowford and Williams roads were built on grade, and many of them rely on segmental block terraces to hold a walk-out basement or a flat backyard. If you live in one of those neighborhoods, you already know that red clay and a tall oak canopy can put a lot of pressure on a wall.
When a wall starts to lean, crack, or slide after a heavy rain, homeowners in Lewisville (27023) call Winston-Salem Retaining Wall. We know the difference between a cosmetic crack and a wall that is about to fail, and we can tell you which one you have before you spend a dime. We are fully insured and we handle everything from a small garden wall repair to a full slope stabilization project.
Retaining Wall in Lewisville (27023)
Most of the walls we see in Lewisville are holding back a cut slope behind a house or a driveway. The soil here is heavy red clay that swells when it gets wet and shrinks when it dries, and that movement is hard on any wall that does not have proper drainage behind it. Add the tall oaks and pines that shade so many lots, and you get roots, leaf litter, and water that has nowhere to go. We see a lot of 1990s and 2000s segmental block walls that were built without a gravel drain or a perforated pipe, and those are the ones that bulge and lean first. We also replace plenty of old timber and railroad tie walls from the 70s and 90s that have finally rotted out. Our crews are trained on block and segmental systems as well as boulder and natural stone, so we can match the wall to the slope, the soil, and the look of your property. We are NCMA Segmental Retaining Wall Installer certified and fully insured.
Our team has worked all over Forsyth County, from the older streets near Old Salem to the newer subdivisions out here in Lewisville. We know what the building department wants to see and we know how to work on a tight lot without tearing up the rest of your yard.

How a Job Works in Lewisville
Step 1: You call us at (743) 210-3267 or send a message, and we set up a free on-site assessment. We walk the wall with you, check the grade, look for signs of water pressure or settlement, and talk through repair versus replacement. You get a written estimate with a clear scope, not a vague number.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the permits if the wall needs them and schedule the work. In Lewisville, that often means coordinating with an HOA and planning for narrow driveway access, so we stage materials carefully and keep the street clear. We excavate, fix the drainage, and build the wall in lifts, compacting the soil as we go.
Step 3: When the wall is done, we clean up the site, haul away the old material, and walk the finished job with you. We do not leave until you have seen the drainage, the cap, and the tie-in to your grade, and you know exactly what to expect over the next season.
Pricing in Lewisville depends on the size of the wall, how easy it is to get equipment to the site, the condition of the soil, and how fast you need it done. As a ballpark, block and segmental retaining walls start around $25 per square foot, boulder and natural stone walls start around $25 per square foot, and timber walls start around $20 per square foot. Concrete walls and wall replacements start around $35 per square foot, and a basic installation starts around $30 per square foot. Repair jobs start at $1,500, drainage work starts at $2,500, and leaning or collapsed wall repair starts at $2,500. Slope stabilization and erosion control start with a free estimate. The best way to know what your wall will cost is to have us look at it, so call (743) 210-3267 for a free estimate.
