Drainage behind the wall, not just the face
A wall that looks straight on day one can lean if water sits behind it. We drain and reinforce. Compacted base, drain stone, an outlet, and reinforcement sized to the load. Pretty face, no drain, fails in spring.
Grade work lives on excavation / drainage. French drains, swales, and regrading keep water off the heel of the wall and away from the house. A State College lot is often a wall job and a drainage job together. Tight yards, student-rental driveways, and freeze-thaw that does not forgive a sand bed.
Poured concrete is flatwork, not a substitute for a drained block wall. Proof of how we build is on projects. No named State College job addresses here. Browse the photos.
