Kennard is a small town in Washington County where acreages sit on rolling loess hills west of the Missouri bluffs, and the driveways and outbuildings here often need a solid retaining wall to hold their ground. If you live along County Road P28 or near the Kennard City Park, you know how the grade can sneak up on you after a hard rain.
Homeowners in Kennard (68034) call Omaha Retaining Wall because we understand this terrain. We have built and repaired walls on these hills for years, and we know how the loess soil shifts when it gets saturated. Whether it is a boulder wall for a sloped driveway or a segmental block wall around a new shop, we can help.
Retaining Wall in Kennard (68034)
Kennard's acreages on rolling loess hills west of the Missouri bluffs often need walls for driveways and outbuildings. The soil here is wind-blown loess, which can slump when it gets wet, and the freeze-thaw cycles in winter can heave even well-built walls. Many properties have long driveways that cut into a slope, and without proper drainage, water builds up behind the wall and pushes it over. We see a lot of aging railroad tie walls that are rotting and failing, and we replace them with boulder or block walls that handle the movement better. Access can be tight on some of these rural lots, so we plan ahead for equipment and materials delivery.
Our team has worked on slopes from the flat lots near the school to the steeper grades out toward the bluffs. We know what it takes to build a wall that stays put in Kennard's soil and weather.

How a Job Works in Kennard
Step 1: You call us at (402) 281-9526, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We look at the slope, the soil, the drainage, and any existing wall, and we talk through your options and budget.
Step 2: Once you approve the estimate, we pull any needed permits (Washington County or the City of Kennard may require them for walls over 4 feet or those supporting a driveway). We schedule the work, order materials, and build the wall with proper drainage and compaction. On rural acreages, we coordinate delivery and equipment access to avoid tearing up your yard.
Step 3: After the wall is done, we clean up the site, haul away debris, and walk the finished job with you. We make sure you know how to maintain the drainage and what to watch for.
