Citrus Heights is classic Sacramento suburbia: 1960s and 70s ranch homes on generous lots, many with timber or railroad tie walls that have been leaning for years. If you live near Sylvan Oaks Library or along Auburn Boulevard, you have probably seen these walls slowly give way.
Homeowners in 95610 call Sacramento Retaining Wall because we specialize in replacing those aging tie walls with modern, engineered systems that handle our clay soil and winter rain. We know the neighborhoods, the permits, and the drainage issues that cause walls to fail here.
Retaining Wall in Citrus Heights (95610)
Citrus Heights sits on the flat valley floor with dense clay and hardpan that holds water after storms. Many properties have older timber walls that are rotting and bowing, especially in neighborhoods like Birdcage Heights and around Rusch Park. The soil here expands when wet and cracks when dry, putting constant pressure on walls. We often find missing or clogged drainage, which leads to hydrostatic pressure and wall failure. Our team understands these local conditions and builds walls that last.
We have been serving Citrus Heights and the surrounding Sacramento area for years, replacing railroad tie walls, installing segmental block and concrete walls, and stabilizing slopes. We know the local building department requirements and can guide you through the permit process.
