Palm Beach County · Boca Raton
On the canal-front lots of East Boca and the Boca Islands, the ground sits low and wet — a proper retaining wall with drainage behind it holds the grade instead of bulging.
Boca Raton is one of South Florida's most established communities, and many of its best lots — through East Boca, the Boca Islands and Old Floresta — sit near a canal or the Intracoastal where the water table runs high and the grade drops toward the seawall. A retaining wall on ground like that has one job: to hold the earth without leaning, and that comes down to what you cannot see. We build a compacted base, a segmental block or stone-veneer face, and a full drainage system with weep points behind it so water escapes instead of pushing the wall out.
Above the retaining work, Boca homeowners love a seat wall — a low capped wall wrapping a fire pit or bordering a patio that adds seating without crowding the space. We cap it to match your pavers so the wall reads as part of the same design, not an afterthought.
Whether you are on a non-HOA street in East Boca or inside a gated club like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, we handle the paperwork — the City of Boca Raton permit, the drainage design near the seawall, and the architectural review submittal for the clubs that require it.
Boca's canal-front and seawall-adjacent lots carry a high water table and drainage rules — we build weep systems and a proper base behind every retaining wall so hydrostatic pressure never bulges the face.
Yes, when it is engineered for the water. Near the Boca canals and seawalls the pressure behind a wall is the real load, so we build a compacted base and a weep-and-drainage system behind the block so water escapes instead of pushing the wall out over time.
Yes. We regularly prepare the architectural review board package for gated clubs like Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club, then pull the City of Boca Raton permit once the community signs off on the wall design.
That is one of our most requested builds in Boca. We set a low capped seat wall around the fire pit or along the patio edge and finish the cap to match your pavers, so it adds seating and reads as one design.
It depends on the length, height, material and site prep, which is why the on-site visit and written estimate are free and itemized. Financing through Wisetack is available so the budget does not decide the timeline.
