Professional Retaining Wall Solutions in Coronado
Living on the island means dealing with slopes, salt air, and keeping things looking classy. We’re Classic Home Contractors, and we build retaining walls that solve your problems while fitting Coronado’s vibe.
In Coronado, we design and build structurally sound retaining walls—while guiding homeowners through the City’s retaining wall requirements (Handout #10), which specify when permits are needed, detail surcharge rules, and outline required plan submissions and inspections.
Why Coronado Properties Need the Right Walls
Coronado isn’t your typical suburb. You’ve got ocean influence, unique soil, and a community that cares about how things look. Plus, property here is expensive – you want to use every square foot you can.
Good retaining walls can give you about 30% more usable space on sloped lots. They also stop erosion from washing away your investment, especially important with our seasonal rains and proximity to water.
But here’s the thing – the walls have to be built right for our conditions. Salt air, shifting soils, and strict community standards mean you can’t just throw up any old wall and hope it works.
We know what materials hold up here, what drainage solutions actually work, and how to design walls that look like they belong in Coronado.
- Garden Terraces – Turn slopes into beautiful planting areas. Perfect for creating that lush, layered look Coronado gardens are known for.
- Decorative Block Walls – Clean, attractive walls that come in colors and textures to match your home’s style.

Why Coronado Homeowners Choose Us
We’ve been working on the island long enough to understand what makes each area different. The Historic District has different requirements than Coronado Shores. The Cays have different drainage challenges than the Village area.
Every project starts with us looking at your specific situation – your soil, slope, drainage, and what you want to accomplish. Then we figure out the best way to make it happen while meeting all the requirements.
We handle the engineering, permits, and construction. You don’t have to become an expert in retaining walls or navigate city requirements. We know what works here and what doesn’t.
Our walls are built to last in Coronado’s environment. That means using materials that can handle salt air, designing drainage that works with our weather patterns, and construction techniques that stand up over time.
