Retaining Wall Materials We Use in Bixby
- Natural fieldstone — hand-selected irregular stones for the most organic, natural appearance; dry-stack or mortared
- Oklahoma limestone — buff-gray native stone; blends naturally with Bixby’s landscape aesthetic
- Boulder walls — large native boulders create dramatic, rugged walls for significant grade changes on Bixby properties
- Concrete block with stone veneer — structurally reliable CMU core with a natural stone face for taller walls
- Segmental retaining wall systems — engineered interlocking block for gravity walls up to 4 feet
Drainage Is the Key to Bixby Retaining Wall Success
Bixby’s clay soils generate intense hydrostatic pressure behind retaining walls during Oklahoma’s wet seasons. This pressure is the number one cause of retaining wall failure in the region — walls lean forward, mortar cracks, and eventually the wall fails entirely. VistaScapes prevents this on every Bixby retaining wall by installing drainage aggregate (washed stone) behind the wall, filter fabric to separate stone from clay, and weep holes or perforated pipe at the base to allow water to drain away from the wall structure.
Our Bixby retaining walls are designed to last 30 to 50 years. Call VistaScapes at 918-779-1317 for a free retaining wall estimate for your Bixby property.
