Best Landslide Repair Contractors
Landslides happen when the forces acting on a soil mass exceed the soil’s internal resistance, causing the land to shift and move. When this occurs, it’s crucial to partner with the best landslide repair contractors to address the issue effectively. Schnabel’s landslide repair services are designed to prevent or halt landslides by utilizing reliable, tested techniques, such as tieback anchors, soldier piles, and micropiles, which help add external resisting force to stabilize the slope.
In many cases, tieback anchors are the most efficient and cost-effective solution for landslide repair. If a site can’t support large-scale excavation or if draining the soil along the failure surface is challenging, tiebacks may be the only viable option. In some instances, combining tiebacks with other methods can provide the best results.
Tieback walls are engineered to increase the resisting forces to achieve a predetermined factor of safety, ensuring long-term stability. These walls are strategically placed within the slope, delivering optimal resistance in the most effective direction, and can be installed with minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
To install tiebacks, anchors are embedded through the wall into competent soil or rock beneath the failure surface. In certain cases, the load from the tiebacks is distributed directly to the soil via discrete concrete elements, rather than a traditional wall. These elements are often buried within the slope and then re-vegetated, restoring the land to its natural state.
With over 50 years of experience, Schnabel’s team of expert landslide repair contractors offers innovative and cost-efficient solutions to protect your property. To find out more, reach out to us today and ensure your landslide repair is in the hands of the best professionals.

Landslide Stabilization Case Studies
Gallatin County Landslide Repair | Warsaw, KY
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) contracted Schnabel to reconstruct a 1.25-mile-long section of the U.S. 42 highway that has been prone to landslides. Schnabel successfully installed a tieback retaining wall to help stabilize the existing landslides, which allowed the highway to reopen five months ahead of schedule and just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
Cal-Poly Landslide Stabilization | San Luis Obispo, CA
In 2017, a landslide on the Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo Campus caused an evacuation of the Fremont Dorm. Schnabel designed and built the earth retention system used to stabilize the slide and served as the general contractor for the project. This project received the 2023 CalGeo Project of the Year Award and the 2023 APWA Public Works Project of the Year Award.
Schnabel constructed a permanent tieback wall to stabilize an old landslide so that previously unusable land could be used to construct a new senior care facility. Schnabel worked closely with design consultant Cotton, Shires and Associates to produce a design that would stabilize a large slide close to numerous fault lines. This required deep soldier piles and high capacity tiebacks up to 150-foot long.
