Complete Concrete Services for Residential & Commercial Properties
Concrete is one of the most important investments you can make in your property. Proper installation begins long before the concrete is poured. At Exteriors West, we manage the soil preparation, grading, drainage planning, and reinforcement to ensure long-term durability.
| Concrete Service | What We Offer |
| Driveway Installation & Replacement | New pours, replacements, extensions, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, and heavy-duty RV/commercial pads. |
| Custom Patios | Low-maintenance, highly durable outdoor living spaces designed for entertaining and property value enhancement. |
| Sidewalks & Walkways | Front entry paths, side yard walkways, ADA-compliant commercial sidewalks, and concrete stairs. |
| Slabs & Foundations | Structurally sound concrete slabs for detached garages, pole buildings, workshops, ADUs, and equipment pads. |
Retaining Wall Construction Built for Pacific Northwest Terrain
Many properties throughout Clark County feature elevation changes that require professionally engineered retaining walls. Without proper support, sloped properties can experience soil erosion, landscape damage, and severe foundation concerns.
We design and install retaining wall systems that provide both structural support and visual appeal, always adhering to the structural guidelines set by the Washington State Building Code Council.
| Wall Type | Key Benefits & Applications |
| Concrete Retaining Walls | Exceptional strength and load-bearing capacity; ideal for larger grade changes and modern aesthetics. |
| Block Retaining Walls | Highly versatile and customizable; the most popular option for matching home architecture and landscaping. |
| Engineered Walls | Designed to meet strict local building codes; perfect for steep hillsides, multi-tiered landscapes, and commercial sites. |
Note: We also provide comprehensive retaining wall repair and replacement for walls experiencing cracking, bulging, or drainage failures.

Every successful construction project starts with proper excavation and water management. The Pacific Northwest receives significant rainfall, making proper drainage the most critical element of any exterior project.
- Site Excavation: Land clearing, foundation digging, utility trenching, pool excavation, and commercial site development.
- Property Grading: Rough grading, finish grading, slope correction, and landscape contouring to ensure water flows safely away from your structures.
- Drainage Systems: Custom installation of French drains, surface drains, swales, and water diversion systems to prevent basement moisture and landscape erosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a concrete driveway cost in Vancouver, WA?
Costs vary depending on square footage, site access, excavation requirements, and the type of finish (e.g., standard brush vs. stamped). We provide customized, transparent estimates after evaluating your specific property.
How long does a retaining wall last?
When professionally engineered and equipped with proper backfill and drainage systems, a high-quality retaining wall can easily last for several decades.
Do I need excavation before installing a retaining wall?
Absolutely. Proper excavation is mandatory to create a stable, compacted base. Without it, the wall will eventually shift, lean, or collapse under the weight of the soil.
Why is grading important around my home?
Proper grading directs rainwater and runoff safely away from your home’s foundation, drastically reducing the risk of crawlspace moisture, structural damage, and costly soil erosion.
