Retaining & Block Walls in University Park, TX

Retaining and privacy walls built to handle sloped Dallas lots. Built for University Park homeowners and businesses.

When University Park homeowners and businesses need retaining & block walls, they call Advanced Concrete of Dallas. We bring the same standard of site prep and reinforcement to every retaining & block walls project in University Park that we do across the rest of Dallas — engineered for North Texas clay soil and built to hold up to the Texas heat.

Retaining walls, privacy walls, and garden borders show up across both older and newer Dallas neighborhoods — anywhere a lot has grade change, a need for separation from a neighbor, or a spot that erodes after heavy rain. Done right, a CMU block wall solves all three at once and lasts for decades.

University Park, home to SMU, is full of well-established mid-century and updated homes on tree-lined streets. As original driveways and patios reach the end of their service life, homeowners are replacing them with reinforced, code-compliant concrete that matches the neighborhood's character.

Our Process

How It Works

01

Engineering / Permits

We assess wall height, soil load, and drainage needs, and handle permitting where required by the City of Dallas.

02

Excavation & Footing

A proper footing is excavated and poured to support the wall and prevent shifting over time.

03

Block Laying

CMU block is laid course by course, reinforced and grouted according to the engineered plan.

04

Cap & Finish

A capstone finishes the top of the wall, with decorative options available for visible walls.

05

Drainage

Drainage gravel and piping are installed behind retaining walls to relieve water pressure.
