Concrete Footings & Retaining Walls

Structural Concrete Footings

Concrete footings are the foundation beneath your foundation, providing essential support for walls, columns, and other structural elements. At Arvo Palm Bay Concrete, we construct footings that meet engineering specifications and building codes, ensuring your structure has the solid support it needs. Our footing work includes residential foundation footings, commercial building supports, deck and porch footings, and specialized applications for heavy equipment or structures.

Proper footing construction requires careful attention to depth, width, reinforcement, and concrete quality. We excavate to the required depth based on soil conditions and load requirements, install reinforcement steel as specified, and pour concrete that meets strength standards. Our team ensures footings are level, properly sized, and positioned correctly to support your structure's weight distribution. Whether you're building a new home, adding an addition, or constructing a commercial building, our footing work provides the essential foundation for your project's success.

Professional Retaining Wall Construction

Retaining walls serve multiple purposes, from preventing soil erosion to creating usable flat areas on sloped properties. Our concrete retaining walls provide superior strength and longevity compared to other materials. We design and construct retaining walls that withstand soil pressure, water infiltration, and Florida's weather conditions. Our walls can be finished with various textures and colors to complement your landscape design while providing essential structural support.

Types of Retaining Walls We Build

We construct various types of concrete retaining walls to meet different needs:

• Gravity walls that use their mass to resist soil pressure
• Cantilever walls with reinforced concrete for taller applications
• Segmental block walls using interlocking concrete units
• Poured concrete walls with custom finishes and designs
• Tiered wall systems for steep slopes and dramatic elevation changes
• Garden walls that combine function with aesthetic appeal

Benefits of Concrete Retaining Walls

Concrete retaining walls offer numerous advantages for property owners:

• Superior strength and durability that lasts for decades
• Effective erosion control that protects your property and landscape
• Creation of usable flat areas on sloped terrain
• Improved drainage and water management
• Enhanced property value and curb appeal
• Low maintenance requirements compared to wood or other materials
• Design flexibility with various finishes, colors, and textures

Our Construction Process

Building effective retaining walls requires engineering knowledge and construction expertise. We begin with site evaluation to assess soil conditions, drainage patterns, and wall height requirements. Our team designs walls that meet structural requirements while complementing your landscape. We excavate and prepare the site, install proper drainage systems behind the wall, and construct footings to support the wall's weight. During construction, we ensure proper reinforcement, backfill, and drainage to prevent future problems. The result is a retaining wall that performs its function reliably while enhancing your property's appearance.
