Tanque Verde is horse property and wide lots along the wash, not tract homes. If you live off Tanque Verde Road or near the Saguaro National Park east boundary, your wall is probably holding back sandy bank soil that moves every monsoon.
We build and repair retaining walls in 85749 for homeowners who are tired of watching a railroad tie wall lean a little more each summer. From the large lots near Tanque Verde Wash to the custom homes off Catalina Highway, our team knows how this ground behaves when the July rain hits.
Retaining Wall in Tanque Verde (85749)
Tanque Verde is different from midtown Tucson. Lots are bigger, often an acre or more, and many properties back up to the Tanque Verde Wash or one of the sandy arroyos that feed it. That means your retaining wall is not just decorative. It is holding a bank, a driveway cut, or a horse paddock terrace in place. The ground here is often sandy alluvium over caliche, and when water gets trapped against a wall, it finds the weak spot fast. We see a lot of failed timber walls, bulging block walls, and boulder terraces that were built without proper drainage. The fix is usually a Boulder & Natural Stone Wall or a block wall with a real drainage system behind it, not just a patch. Access can be tight on some of the smaller lanes off Tanque Verde Road, and we plan for that before we show up.
Our team has worked these washes and foothill lots for years. We know which walls need engineering, which ones need a permit from Pima County, and which ones just need to be rebuilt right with drainage that works.

How a Job Works in Tanque Verde
Step 1: You call us at (520) 467-5911 or send a request, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk the wall with you, check the soil and drainage, and talk through what you are seeing. You get a written estimate with options, not a pressure pitch.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull any permits needed through Pima County and schedule the work. In Tanque Verde, that often means coordinating with HOA rules or working around horse fencing and gate access. We stage materials carefully so we do not tear up your driveway or block your turn-around.
Step 3: When the wall is done, we clean up the site, haul off old material, and walk the finished job with you. We leave your property clean and make sure you know how the drainage works before we go.
Pricing in Tanque Verde depends on the wall type, length, height, and access. As a ballpark, block and segmental walls start around $25 per square foot, boulder and natural stone walls also start around $25 per square foot, and concrete walls start around $35 per square foot. Repair jobs typically start around $1,500, while full replacements and leaning wall repairs start higher. Drainage work starts around $2,500 because it usually involves digging out and rebuilding the backfill. The biggest cost factors are how much wall you need, how tight the access is, and whether the old wall has to come out first. Call (520) 467-5911 for a free estimate on your specific wall.
