Aransas Pass is a working coastal town where the ground is mostly sand and the water table sits high. Lots around Conn Brown Harbor and the Shrimporee grounds flood fast in a summer downpour, and the older homes on streets like Wheeler and Maddox often have low walls holding back driveways, flower beds, and canal-side yards. If your wall is leaning, cracked, or washing out, you are not alone.
Homeowners in the 78336 ZIP call Corpus Christi Retaining Wall because we know how walls behave in this sandy, storm-driven soil. We have fixed railroad tie walls near the Aransas Pass Aquatic Center and poured concrete walls on lots that drain toward Redfish Bay.
Retaining Wall in Aransas Pass (78336)
Aransas Pass sits on low, sandy ground near the water, so most retaining walls here are short but heavily loaded. The soil drains quickly until it does not, and after a heavy rain, water piles up behind walls that lack proper drainage. We see a lot of failed timber walls from the 1980s and 1990s, block walls that bulge because the footing was too shallow, and concrete walls that cracked when the ground settled. The salt air and humid Gulf light also break down wood and cheap block over time. On canal-front lots and streets near the bay, the water table is high enough that a wall can sit in wet soil year-round, which is why drainage matters as much as the wall itself.
Our team has worked all over the Coastal Bend, from the bluff in Corpus Christi to the flat lots out toward Rockport and Ingleside. In Aransas Pass, we know which neighborhoods have loose fill and which ones have older clay layers that shrink and swell. We build concrete and segmental block walls that handle the local ground, and we always address drainage before we close up a trench.

How a Job Works in Aransas Pass
Step 1: You call us at (361) 600-4114, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at the wall, the slope, the soil, and how water moves across your lot. If the wall is near a property line or over four feet tall, we tell you what the city might require before we quote.
Step 2: We set a start date and get to work. In Aransas Pass, access can be tight on the older streets near the harbor, so we plan for small equipment and careful staging. If your project needs a permit from the City of Aransas Pass, we walk you through the paperwork and coordinate the inspection. We keep the job site as tidy as possible while we dig and pour.
Step 3: When the wall is done, we clean up, haul away debris, and walk the finished job with you. We make sure drainage is working and the site is left better than we found it. You get a final look before we pack up.
Pricing in Aransas Pass depends on the size, access, and condition of your wall.

Repairs typically start at $1,500, while leaning or collapsed wall repair starts at $2,500. Drainage work starts around $2,500. Tight lots, old footings, and storm damage can push costs up, but we give you a clear written estimate before any work begins. Call (361) 600-4114 for a free estimate.
