Fairburn sits in south Fulton County, within reach of our Douglasville base. Our volumetric mobile mixer brings sand, stone, cement and water to your job and mixes them into concrete on the spot, so every pour starts with fresh material.

Our Fairburn Retaining Wall Job

The project gallery on our website includes a job right here in town. Our truck poured a retaining wall in Fairburn.

Retaining walls are just one type of project we take on. For more photos from across metro Atlanta, see the Our Work page.

Planning a Retaining Wall

Retaining walls hold back soil, so they deal with real forces. A typical poured wall needs a solid footing, properly placed reinforcement and sturdy forms that will not shift when the concrete goes in. Drainage behind the wall matters too, since water pressure building up in the soil is a common cause of wall problems. Follow your plans or your engineer’s guidance on all of these points before scheduling a pour. Taller walls in particular usually need a design from a qualified professional.

Footings and Slabs

Beyond walls, Fairburn property owners order concrete for footings under additions and decks, slabs for garages and sheds, patios, walkways and driveway repairs. Each of these benefits from concrete that is made on site, because the crew can place and finish it without worrying about a load that has been sitting in a drum.

How Volumetric Delivery Helps on Walls

Wall pours often happen in lifts, with the crew placing concrete in layers and consolidating each one before adding the next. A volumetric truck can produce material at a pace that matches the work, and since mixing does not begin until the truck is on site, the concrete is fresh at every stage.

Mixes and State Certification

Structural projects usually come with a required strength. Compare yours with the options on our Pricing page. If the work is public and follows state standards, GDOT DOT-A certified concrete is available from our truck as well.

Estimating Volume

Walls and footings can be tricky to measure. Break the job into simple shapes such as the footing and the wall itself, calculate each with our concrete calculator and add them together. If your plans list concrete quantities, use those as a check.
