Oak Hills Place sits on the Highland Road bluff, where sloped lots drop toward Bayou Fountain and Ward Creek, and the homes here range from 1990s slab ranches to newer estates in subdivisions like Jefferson Terrace and Highland Crossing. If your yard terraces down toward the water or your driveway cuts into a grade, you already know how fast gumbo clay can push a wall out of line.
Homeowners in Oak Hills Place (70810) call Baton Rouge Retaining Wall because we understand the local terrain: expansive clay that swells after a week of rain, a high water table near the bayous, and the kind of hydrostatic pressure that shows up after a tropical downpour. We are fully insured and hold NCMA Segmental Retaining Wall Installer Certification, and we have worked on bluff lots off Highland Road and in the neighborhoods around the Country Club of Louisiana.
Retaining Wall in Oak Hills Place (70810)
Most Oak Hills Place properties sit on grades that were cut into the bluff decades ago, so you get raised slabs, driveway ramps, and terraced backyards held by walls that were often built with timber or railroad ties. Those materials do not last in this climate. Formosan termites eat them, and the clay moves them. We replace failing timber walls with segmental block or poured concrete that can handle the pressure, and we add proper drainage because a wall without drainage is just a wall waiting to lean. The soil here is highly expansive gumbo clay, and the water table near Bayou Fountain and Ward Creek stays high, so we design with gravel backfill and perforated pipe to relieve hydrostatic pressure. Access can be tight on the sloped lots off Highland Road, so we plan equipment and material staging before we start.
Our team has worked throughout Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas, including Oak Hills Place, Shenandoah, and the Country Club of Louisiana. We know the difference between a wall that just holds dirt and one that protects your home, driveway, and pool deck from slope movement.

How a Job Works in Oak Hills Place
Step 1: You call (225) 416-8270 and we set up a free on-site assessment. We look at the wall, the grade, the drainage, and the access, and we talk through what you are seeing: cracks, bulging, leaning, or water pooling after storms.
Step 2: We schedule the work and handle the details. If the wall is over four feet from the footing or supports a surcharge like a driveway, a permit may be required, and we can point you to the City of Oak Hills Place website (https://www.brla.gov) for the building department. On tight lots in Oak Hills Place, we plan deliveries and equipment so we do not block neighbors or damage landscaping.
Step 3: When the job is done, we clean the site, haul away debris, and walk the wall with you so you understand the drainage and how to maintain it. We leave your property clean.
Pricing in Oak Hills Place depends on the wall type, size, access, and condition.

Repairs start at $1,500, leaning and collapsed wall repair starts at $2,500, and drainage work starts at $2,500. Replacement of a railroad tie wall starts at $35 per square foot. The biggest cost factors are the height and length of the wall, how tight the access is on your lot, whether the old wall needs full removal, and how quickly you need it done.
