Why people call about this.
The yard slopes toward the house
A wall and regrade can level the yard and turn water away from the foundation.
Soil is washing out of a bed or slope
Every heavy rain carries more of it onto the lawn or the patio.
An old wall is leaning
Usually because nothing let the water out from behind it.
BRAZOS COUNTY, TX
Retaining Walls in Brazos County: what’s different here.
Outside Bryan and College Station, Brazos County is 588 square miles of rolling prairie and post oak woodland between the Brazos and Navasota rivers. The unincorporated parts are small rural communities such as Smetana, Tabor, Reliance, Edge, and Peach Creek, plus a lot of acreage, hay meadow, and country homesites. In the unincorporated county, new construction in a mapped floodplain needs a Brazos County Floodplain Development Permit from the Road & Bridge Department, septic systems are permitted through the Brazos County Health District, and every dig starts with a Texas811 locate.
Pavers & Hardscape in Brazos County
Soil can go from sandy over clay on a post oak ridge to heavy black clay in a creek bottom on the same property, so the base is sized to what is actually under the patio.
The ground
Uplands are claypan soils with a sandy layer on top under post oak, with a strip of darker Blackland Prairie clay along the north edge of the county and heavy bottomland clays along the Brazos and Navasota rivers, so drainage and base work change a lot from one property to the next.
Homes and lots
Mostly single homes on acreage, older farmhouses, and rural subdivisions, many on septic, with lots far larger than anything in town.
