Commercial Retaining Wall Contractor in Portland, OR
Commercial Retaining Walls for commercial projects in Portland, OR and the surrounding Portland Metro. Family-owned, licensed and bonded in Oregon and Washington, with our own crews and equipment.
Building walls that will last a lifetime
PacWest builds engineered retaining walls in Portland and the surrounding area: segmental block, boulder, and gabion systems for commercial sites. Family-owned, based in Rickreall, with our own excavation and trucking crews. OR CCB #198317.
For more than ten years, we've built engineered retaining walls across the Willamette Valley, Portland metro, and southwest Washington for general contractors, developers, property managers, and municipalities. We install segmental block, boulder, and gabion systems, geogrid-reinforced and built per the stamped drawings.
Because we run our own excavators and dump trucks, the wall, the excavation, and the site work stay under one scope and one schedule, with no other subs to coordinate.
- Segmental (SRW), boulder, and gabion systems
- Geogrid, drainage, and backfill compacted in lifts
- Built per the engineer of record
- Self-performed excavation and trucking, no brokered scopes
Where we build commercial walls
The right wall protects the property, creates usable space, and keeps the site safe.
Developments & retail
Site walls that create usable, level building pads and protect investment on sloped parcels.
Parking lots & access roads
Grade separation and structural support that keep lots and roads safe, level, and flowing.
Slope stabilization
Engineered walls for steep or unstable grades, holding back soil for the long term.
Erosion & drainage control
Walls designed with drainage and geogrid to defend against erosion and water damage.
Tiered & terraced walls
Multi-tier systems that turn unusable slope into functional, attractive space.
Municipal & infrastructure
Durable, code-compliant walls for public and infrastructure-scale commercial work.
