I wasn’t sure exactly where to start. I didn’t know anything about stamped and colored concrete. All i knew was, that I wanted to do my own forming and site work. I called a couple contractors, they were only interested if they did the whole job. Citing they couldn’t guarantee/warranty if they didn’t. I called NW Concrete and talked with Miles. Wealth of knowledge and information. I knew from the phone call who I would be using. Miles came out to my house to give me a quote. At that time he gave me tips and pointers on how the site work should be done. Never tried to upsell me for things that I could do myself. A few days before the pour. Miles called and asked if I was ready. I thought so. But, still had a couple of questions. Miles answered them and we were ready. Day of the pour. Everyone arrived on time. They were fast and efficient. Knew what they were doing. Miles came back a day later to pressure wash the stain residue and the returned a day later to seal the concrete. I liked the work so much that I even gave their name to a couple of property owners in need of concrete work. We are extremely pleased!!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing above and beyond work!

We had an addition added to our existing patio, we could not be more pleased with the work Miles, Carl and Carl Jr completed. It was very refreshing to have a contractor show up when they said they would and do exactly what they said they would do, Miles was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and concerns, they were professionals from start to finish. Miles was also very informative regarding the care and maintenance of our new patio. I have referred Miles to my brother and would recommend this company to anyone that needed any concrete work done large or small, basic or detailed, great company. Thanks again for the great jobTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carl, and his crew at NWCD did a great job updating our front entry and sidewalks. His team helped us alter our original design to make it better than we had first planned. We were concerned about our cedar siding being damaged during the pour but they did a great job protecting the house. There were a couple spots that needed touched up right next to the house (not their fault as the protective plastic sheeting for our siding hid a spot or two). Carl sent out one of his guys to touch it up and he didn't leave until we were totally happy. I'd definitely recommend them to any one and wouldn't hesitate to use them for any future concrete work.Showing our latest reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Concrete Retaining Wall FAQ’s
Poured concrete walls are ideal for structural strength, while block systems work well for decorative or tiered landscaping. We’ll recommend what fits your slope, soil, and style best.
With proper drainage and construction, concrete retaining walls can last 50 years or more without major maintenance.
Yes. Every concrete retaining wall requires a solid footing to prevent shifting, cracking, or failure over time — especially in sloped or high-pressure areas.
Absolutely. Without proper drainage, hydrostatic pressure builds up, which can push the wall outward or cause cracking. We always include weep holes or gravel backfill systems.
In most Oregon cities, any wall over 4 feet high (or supporting structures above) requires a permit. We handle all necessary permit paperwork.
Costs depend on length, height, material (poured vs block), site access, and finish. We offer custom quotes after a site visit.
Yes. We design and build multi-level walls that are great for gardens, terraces, or leveling out hilly yards.
Poured walls are monolithic (seamless) and stronger for load-bearing. Block walls are modular, easier to install in tight spaces, and can be finished decoratively.
Yes. We offer on-site evaluations to assess slope, drainage, soil type, and layout. We also provide design guidance to match the wall to your property.
Yes. For tall or load-bearing retaining walls, we partner with licensed engineers to ensure your wall meets all safety and code requirements.
