At AJ Bright Construction, we’ve partnered and vetted some of the best excavation companies and contractors in the area to help build numerous retaining walls around greater Greenville, Concord NC and beyond.

- Quality control and inspection as well as continuous monitoring
Because industrial retaining walls are usually considered a permanent structure, the process of building a retaining wall can take some time, most of the time dedicated to acquiring the proper permits for South Carolina town standards.
