Bixby sits right where the Arkansas River bottoms meet rolling clay hills, and that mix shows up in every backyard wall we build. From the newer subdivisions off 151st Street to the older homes near downtown Bixby, the ground here moves with the seasons, and retaining walls take a beating.
Homeowners in Bixby (74008) call Tulsa Retaining Wall because we know this soil. We have fixed leaning walls behind houses in the Preserve at Bixby, replaced rotting railroad ties near Bixby High School, and added drainage to walls that were failing after a heavy spring rain. If your wall is bowing, cracked, or just plain old, we can help.
Retaining Wall in Bixby (74008)
Bixby's newer neighborhoods sit on river-bottom soil that holds water, and the rolling clay hills west of town put a lot of pressure on walls. We see two common problems: walls that were built without proper drainage and walls that were never designed for the weight of the soil behind them. In the older parts of Bixby, like the streets around Armstrong Park, we find aging timber walls that have rotted out and need replacement. The ground here is expansive clay over shale, and when it gets wet it swells, pushing walls out of plumb. In the summer, the clay shrinks and cracks, and walls settle. We build with that in mind, using proper base material, drainage stone, and perforated pipe to move water away from the wall. For hillside lots, we often recommend a tiered design to handle the grade and keep the wall stable.
Our team has worked on walls all over the Tulsa area, from the Arkansas River to the Osage Hills, and we bring that experience to every Bixby job. We know what works here and what does not.

How a Job Works in Bixby
Step 1: You call us at (918) 359-8655 or fill out our contact form. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your Bixby property. We look at the wall, the soil, the drainage, and the grade, and we talk with you about what you want to achieve. We then provide a written estimate with options.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull any necessary permits with the City of Bixby. Many walls over 4 feet require a permit, and we handle that for you. Our crew arrives on time, protects your landscaping, and builds the wall to spec. For tight lots in neighborhoods like Bixby's Stonebrooke, we plan access carefully so we don't tear up your yard. We keep you informed throughout the project.
Step 3: When the work is done, we clean up the site, haul away debris, and walk through the finished wall with you. We make sure you understand how to care for it and that you are completely satisfied. We leave your property clean and your wall ready to protect your home for years.
Pricing for retaining walls in Bixby depends on the size, materials, site access, and condition of the existing wall. As a ballpark, installation starts at $30 per square foot for a standard block wall, and repair jobs start at $1,500. Replacement of a failing wall starts at $35 per square foot. Concrete walls start at $35 per square foot, while timber walls start at $20 per square foot. Drainage corrections start at $2,500. For a typical Bixby backyard wall of 200 square feet, you might be looking at $6,000 to $10,000 depending on the factors above. We provide free estimates, so call (918) 359-8655 to get a precise quote for your project.
