When a sloped lot starts eroding toward the patio or you dream of tiered garden beds, you need reliable retaining wall contractors Colorado Springs residents can depend on. CountBricks combines on-site craftsmanship with AI-driven estimating tools to deliver walls that perform and look great—without budget surprises.
Colorado Springs’ clay soils expand, contract, and slide. Winter freeze–thaw cycles can crack patios and undermine foundations. A correctly engineered retaining wall:
• Stops soil movement and protects structures
• Adds flat, usable space for outdoor living
• Directs drainage away from basements
• Boosts curb appeal and property value
Traditional contractors still juggle clipboards and handwritten bids. CountBricks deploys real-time voice capture to build your estimate as you walk the site. Our platform pulls current material pricing, local labor rates, and engineering tasks in seconds. You get a clear cost breakdown before we ever unload a block.
• AI takeoffs from PDFs or blueprints in minutes
• Interactive quote documents you can accept online
• Automatic schedule generation linked to weather data
• Integrated invoices that sync with QuickBooks
1. Consultation: Speak with a CountBricks project manager on-site or over video. Our voice AI records specifications while you talk.
2. Instant Estimate: Within moments, CountBricks.com/services sends a detailed proposal including material options—concrete block, natural stone, or timber—and itemized tasks.
3. Engineering Review: We coordinate any required structural or drainage calculations to meet El Paso County codes.
4. Construction: Our certified crews excavate, set base, install drainage pipe, and build the wall to spec.
5. Walk-Through & Warranty: You inspect every course. CountBricks issues a five-year workmanship warranty documented on your client dashboard.
• Wall height & length: Taller walls require geogrid reinforcement and more excavation.
• Material choice: Concrete segmental block is cost-effective; natural boulder veneers raise aesthetics and price.
• Site access: Tight backyards may need hand excavation or compact machinery.
• Drainage needs: French drains, weep holes, and filter fabric prevent hydrostatic pressure.
A 40-foot-long, 4-foot-high block wall with drain tile typically ranges $5,800-$7,200 installed. CountBricks’ AI estimate outlines:
• Excavation & haul-off: $1,400
• Base gravel & compaction: $800
• Block & cap materials: $2,600
• Labor & finish grading: $1,200
• Insufficient footing depth leads to forward lean—our crews dig below frost line.
• Missing drainage causes blowouts—CountBricks specs ¾" washed rock and perforated pipe behind every wall.
• No geogrid reinforcement on walls over 4'—our AI prompts required grid lengths so nothing gets missed.
Our platform auto-generates a Gantt chart and syncs tasks with weather forecasts. If a snow day threatens concrete pours, you are alerted instantly. Clients view progress photos in real time at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Locally quarried sandstone options reduce transport emissions
• Permeable backfill lowers storm-water runoff
• Smart irrigation integration preserves new plantings on terraced walls

The Rivera family owned a charming 1950s ranch perched above Cheyenne Boulevard, but every spring runoff washed mulch onto their driveway. They contacted CountBricks after searching “retaining wall contractors Colorado Springs.” Our voice AI captured their wish list in five minutes: stabilize the 6-foot slope, create garden terraces, and match the home’s rustic stone façade.
• Material Selection: CountBricks recommended locally quarried Colorado Red Sandstone for a natural look and reduced freight cost.
• Engineering: A 60-degree slope required tiered walls with geogrid layers. The platform auto-generated grid lengths, which our structural partner stamped within 48 hours.
• Drainage Solution: Behind each tier we installed perforated pipe, 12" of washed rock, and weep vents to relieve hydrostatic pressure.
• Smart Scheduling: Unexpected snow flurries threatened the base pour. CountBricks’ weather integration shifted tasks, keeping the finish date intact.
• 1,200 sq ft of reclaimed flat yard space
• Zero soil movement recorded after one full freeze–thaw cycle
• 14% under the initial budget contingency thanks to live material price tracking
