We had them install a retaining wall and concrete pathway on our side yard. Gabriel, the owner, came out to look at the site in person to give us a quote. His quote was in the middle of the price spread across 7 contractors. After confirming the job with him, he was able to squeeze us in between another job and they started working the next day and it only took them a day and a half to finish. His crew was very courteous, everyone was communicative. We're very happy with the work and would hire them again.

Expert Retaining Wall Construction in Oxnard, CA
Retaining wall construction in Ojai means working with real terrain challenges. The Ojai Valley sits inside a bowl of hillside properties where sloped lots, seasonal runoff, and shifting soil put constant pressure on unprotected grades. GHR Masonry & Concrete builds masonry retaining walls sized and engineered for those conditions. We start with a site assessment that looks at soil type, slope angle, drainage patterns, and wall height. From there, we set a proper footing, build the wall to carry lateral soil load, and integrate drainage to prevent water buildup behind the structure. Ojai's hillside development standards apply to slopes of 15% or greater, so we build with those local requirements in mind from day one. The result is a wall that holds its position season after season. Whether you need a single garden terrace or a multi-tier system to reclaim a steep backyard, we scope the work to fit your property. Call GHR Masonry & Concrete to schedule your site visit.

FAQ
Retaining Wall Construction FAQ
Common questions about retaining wall construction in Oxnard, CA.
A retaining wall is the right solution when your slope is actively eroding, losing soil, or leaving you with no flat usable space. Many Ojai hillside lots benefit from at least one wall to stabilize the grade and protect the yard below.
We build masonry retaining walls using concrete and stone construction suited to Ojai's hillside terrain and soil conditions. The wall type we recommend depends on your slope angle, wall height, and how the space will be used.
Leaning, cracking, bowing, or bulging are clear signs a wall is under stress and may be failing. If you see any of those signs on your Ojai property, have a masonry contractor assess it before the wall moves further.
Yes, a properly built retaining wall includes drainage behind the structure to move water away instead of letting it build up. This is especially important on Ojai hillside lots where seasonal rain increases runoff pressure.
We build both single and multi-tier walls depending on the height and grade of your slope. Multi-tier systems are common on steeper Ojai properties where one wall alone cannot safely hold the full elevation change.
We look at your slope, soil conditions, drainage, and how much height the wall needs to hold. That information shapes the wall design before any work begins on your Ojai property.
