DRAINAGE AROUND RETAINING WALLS
Water pooling at the top, ends or base of a wall needs review alongside the surrounding grade. This service focuses on surface water approaching and leaving the wall area rather than the concealed drainage system behind the retained soil.
Doraville’s land disturbance process includes site plans, tree plans and hydrology review. Define the project first so the applicable review can be checked.

LOCAL PLANNING NOTES
Clarify the proposed soil movement and work footprint for a retaining wall or stump project.
The property address determines the governing jurisdiction. Discuss the project scope before work is scheduled.
LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY
Call or request a free estimate to discuss the tree care, drainage or outdoor work your property needs.

THE WORK INVOLVED
Water running across the ground beside a wall is different from water collecting behind retained soil. Describe where it arrives and where it pools. Reviewing both paths helps define the surface drainage work without assuming the wall system is the same problem.

YOUR PROPERTY AFTER THE WORK
Leaves, soil and planting can interrupt a surface drainage path. Keep accessible channels or openings clear and observe the wall area during rain. Water appearing behind the wall should be described separately from surface pooling.
FROM FIRST CALL TO SERVICE DAY
Contact Tyler with the property address, photographs from a clear location and the concern you want reviewed.
Check the listed work, cleanup and any separate finishing items. Ask about anything you want clarified before accepting the scope.
Confirm timing and access. Discuss vehicles, pets and any items that need to be moved from the agreed work area.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
No. Surface drainage handles water around the wall area. Drainage behind the wall addresses the retained soil and internal system.
Yes. Explain where roof water currently discharges so that route can be considered.
A suitable discharge route must be reviewed. The plan should account for property boundaries and applicable requirements.
