Solve Grade Elevation Changes & Privacy in One Installation

Many residential properties across Sacramento, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and Roseville feature uneven terrain, terraced yards, or steep grade drops along property lines. Building a standard fence directly on an unlevel slope leads to unsightly gaps, soil erosion, and premature post failure as soil shifts downhill.

Palisade Fence Co. solves sloped property challenges by building engineered retaining wall and fence combination systems. We construct interlocking segmental concrete block walls or heavy pressure-treated timber retaining walls, embedding fence posts directly into deep sleeve footings behind or inside the wall structure.

This dual approach stabilizes your yard's soil, prevents washouts during winter rains, and provides a perfectly level foundation for a wood privacy fence, vinyl fence, or decorative iron fence.

Why Retaining Combo

Four Advantages of Integrated Wall & Fence Systems

Maximize usable lawn space and eliminate slope erosion.

Erosion Control

Retaining walls prevent soil washouts, mud slides, and foundation exposure along property boundaries.

Maximized Usable Yard

Level out steep slopes to create flat, usable lawn areas, garden beds, or patio spaces right up to the fence.

Superior Post Anchorage

Fence posts anchor deep into reinforced wall footings, eliminating wind lean and post rot.

Seamless Aesthetics

Building wall and fence together ensures perfectly matched materials, colors, and level top cap lines.

How We Work

Our 6-Step Retaining & Fence Combo Process

Engineered wall footings and integrated post sleeves.

1

Grade & Soil Assessment

We survey grade drop, soil load, drainage direction, and property line stakes.

2

Trenching & Base Prep

We dig a deep wall trench and compact a 6-inch crushed aggregate base for solid wall support.

3

Wall Construction

Interlocking concrete blocks or 6x6 timbers are stacked level, using geogrid tie-backs for tall walls.

4

Drainage System Install

Perforated drain pipe and clean gravel backfill are placed behind the wall to prevent water pressure build-up.

5

Fence Post Embedding

Fence posts are set in concrete sleeves behind or inside the wall core, extending at least 24 inches below grade.

6

Fence Build & Finish

Wood, vinyl, or iron fence panels are mounted to posts, creating a level privacy barrier over the retaining wall.

FAQ

Retaining Wall & Fence Questions Answered

Yes, but fence posts must be anchored into deep concrete sleeve footings behind the wall or through core-filled block cavities to ensure wind loads don't push the wall over.
In Sacramento County, retaining walls over 4 feet tall (measured from the bottom of the footing) require structural engineering plans and building permits, which we coordinate.
We install a perforated French drain pipe wrapped in filter fabric and backfill behind the wall with washed crushed gravel to divert groundwater safely away.
Interlocking concrete blocks (like Keystone or Belgard) last indefinitely and never rot. Pressure-treated 6x6 timbers offer a rustic look at a lower initial cost with a 20-year lifespan.
If the existing fence is sound, we can temporarily shore it up, rebuild the retaining wall underneath, and re-anchor the posts securely into the new wall structure.
Cedar privacy fencing, vinyl privacy, and ornamental steel fencing all integrate seamlessly on top of segmental block or timber retaining walls.
