Goddard is a growing community west of Wichita, where new subdivisions and established neighborhoods sit on clay soil that shifts with every Kansas storm. If you live near the Goddard Schools campus or along the winding streets of the Goddard Meadows area, you know how quickly a sloped yard can turn into a drainage problem.
Homeowners in Goddard (67052) call Wichita Retaining Wall because we understand the local ground. From the expansive clay that swells after rain to the gentle grades that channel water toward drainage swales, we have seen it all.
Retaining Wall in Goddard (67052)
Goddard's terrain is shaped by the Arkansas River plain and the clay-rich uplands that dominate the area. Many homes here are relatively new, built in the last couple of decades, with yards that slope toward drainage swales or sit on walkout basements. The soil is expansive clay, which means it swells when wet and shrinks in drought, putting constant pressure on retaining walls. We often see walls that lean or crack because the drainage behind them was inadequate or the footing wasn't deep enough for our freeze-thaw cycles. Whether you are in a subdivision off Goddard Road or a property near the Big Ditch, we know how to handle the local conditions.
Our team has years of experience serving Goddard and the surrounding Wichita area. We have installed segmental block walls, poured concrete walls, and natural stone walls that blend with the Flint Hills aesthetic. We also repair and replace failing railroad tie walls and timber walls that are common in older parts of town. If your wall is showing signs of distress, we can assess it and recommend the best solution.

How a Job Works in Goddard
Step 1: It starts with a call to (316) 243-1027 or a request through our website. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your Goddard property. We will walk the site with you, check the soil, the slope, and any existing drainage issues, and talk through what you want to achieve. You will get a clear, written estimate before any work begins.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the necessary permits from the City of Goddard if your wall is over 4 feet or supports a driveway or structure. We coordinate with your HOA if needed and schedule the work. On installation day, our crew arrives with the materials and equipment. We take care with tight lot access and protect your landscaping. We excavate, build the base, set the drainage, and construct the wall according to engineered plans when required.
Step 3: After the wall is built, we clean up the site, haul away debris, and do a final walkthrough with you. We make sure you understand how the drainage works and how to maintain the wall. We leave your property clean and ready to enjoy.
