Retaining Wall Contractors Serving All of Northern Utah
Licensed, insured, and backed by 26+ years of excavation expertise. We build and repair retaining walls across Weber, Davis, Box Elder, and Morgan counties.
Northern Utah's Full-Service Retaining Wall Contractor
Ogden Rock Walls — a division of AccuRite Excavation & Hauling — has been building retaining walls across Northern Utah for over 26 years. From steep hillside boulder walls in Eden to engineered block walls in Layton subdivisions, we bring the heavy equipment, local expertise, and construction knowledge that Utah properties demand.
Utah's clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and steep Wasatch Front terrain create unique challenges for retaining walls. Walls built without proper drainage fail within years. We engineer every wall for Utah conditions — with French drains, compacted backfill, and materials rated for our climate — so your wall lasts decades, not seasons.

We Know Utah Soil
Utah's bentonite clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry — cracking walls that aren't designed for it. We engineer for local soil conditions on every project.

Licensed & Insured in Utah

Own Heavy Equipment
We own excavators, skid steers, and hauling trucks — no rental delays. We can place 5-ton boulders that smaller landscaping crews simply can't handle.
Built for Utah Winters
Freeze-thaw cycles destroy poorly built walls. We install below frost line, use proper drainage, and select materials rated for Northern Utah's temperature swings.

Retaining Wall FAQs for Utah Homeowners
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Utah?
In most Utah cities, retaining walls over 4 feet tall require a building permit and engineered plans. Walls under 4 feet typically do not need a permit, but local codes vary. We handle the permitting process for you and know the requirements for every city we serve across Weber, Davis, and Box Elder counties.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Utah?
Retaining wall costs in Northern Utah typically range from $25 to $75 per square foot depending on the wall type, height, soil conditions, and access difficulty. Boulder walls tend to be more cost-effective for large projects, while block walls offer a cleaner look for residential applications. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed pricing.
What type of retaining wall is best for Utah soil and climate?
Utah's clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles demand walls with excellent drainage. Rock boulder walls perform exceptionally well because they allow natural water flow between boulders. Concrete block walls work great with proper French drain and backfill installation. The right choice depends on your specific slope, soil, and aesthetic preferences — we'll recommend the best option during your free estimate.
How long does it take to build a retaining wall?
Most residential retaining walls take 2-5 days to complete once we start. Larger projects or walls requiring engineered plans may take 1-2 weeks. We own our own heavy equipment, so we don't waste time waiting on rental deliveries — and we schedule projects back-to-back to keep things moving.
Do you serve areas outside of Ogden?
Yes. While we're based in Ogden, we serve all of Northern Utah including Weber County, Davis County, Box Elder County, and Morgan County. That covers cities from Brigham City in the north down to Bountiful in the south, and east to Morgan and Eden in the mountain valleys.
Why should I hire a local Utah contractor instead of a national company?
Local contractors understand Utah's unique soil composition, frost depth, drainage patterns, and building codes. We've built walls across Northern Utah for over 26 years and know which solutions hold up in our climate. We're also a licensed Utah contractor with local references you can actually visit.
