Project Outline

Baldpates General Contracting conducted a full-site retaining wall assessment and replacement project at Laurel Hills Preserve. The scope included evaluating visible wall conditions across timber, 6×6 post, and modular block systems; delivering site maps, photo documentation, and phased budget proposals to property management; coordinating engineered structural drawings and municipal permits; and replacing deteriorating walls.

Challenges/Problems Solved



Addressed safety risks and declining structural integrity associated with aging timber retaining walls. By modernizing older timber systems with higher-performing modular block walls, the project eliminated long-term maintenance headaches, enhanced structural durability, and upgraded the property’s visual appearance.

Special Considerations

Handled municipal code compliance, wall height permitting thresholds, and structural engineering requirements. Bundling assessment and construction across multiple wall locations generated significant field efficiencies in labor scheduling, equipment utilization, and bulk material purchasing.
