Slaton Bros

What Slaton Bros does

Slaton Bros, Inc. is a privately held specialty retaining wall and geotechnical construction contractor headquartered in Denver, Colorado, with a secondary regional office in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Founded in 1995, the company delivers engineered retaining wall systems and adjacent civil infrastructure services to both public sector clients — including state and federal transportation agencies, city and county municipalities, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — and private sector customers across commercial, industrial, residential, and institutional developments. Slaton Bros operates across 11 Western and Central U.S. states and emphasizes over 100 years of combined industry experience among its staff.

The company's core product set spans a broad range of retaining wall technologies, including Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls, soil nail walls, gabion systems, wire-faced walls, precast modular block walls (including T-Walls), segmental block walls, and shotcrete-faced structures. Adjacent offerings include temporary and permanent shoring (hydraulic, beam and plate, soldier pile and lagging, sheet piling), sound/noise barriers, fence and screen walls, sculpted shotcrete, and prefabricated bridges. The principal technical differentiator is an integrated in-house civil and geotechnical engineering team that provides design-build delivery from initial planning through construction, reducing handoffs between designers and field crews.

Slaton Bros generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts awarded via competitive public bidding, RFP responses, and direct engagement with private developers. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public pricing tiers disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct estimator outreach (named contacts include Paul Sonowski, John Petros, Stuart Bentley, Carla Splawn, and Paul Gaul) supplemented by an educational content marketing program via a blog and organic social channels. No revenue figures, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or ownership changes are disclosed in the available source material, and no AI, software, or API offerings exist.

Products and services

• MSE Wall Construction Engineered retaining walls built by layering compacted soil with geogrid, metal strips, or wire mesh reinforcement to create stable structures that support large loads while remaining flexible. Used for highway embankments, bridge abutments, and other heavy civil applications by public and private clients.
• Soil Nail Wall Construction Retaining wall system using steel bars drilled into soil and secured with grout, typically faced with shotcrete, designed to stabilize slopes, excavations, and areas with limited space. Targeted at civil infrastructure and development projects.
• Temporary and Permanent Shoring Support systems for buildings, trenches, or walls during construction or repair work, including hydraulic shoring, beam and plate shoring, soldier pile and lagging, and sheet piling. Used by contractors and developers for excavation support and trench safety.
• Wire-Faced Walls Retaining walls using wire mesh facing combined with reinforced soil to provide structural support and erosion control on civil and site development projects.
• Precast Modular Block Wall (including T-Walls) Retaining walls constructed using precast concrete modular blocks, including T-Walls, that interlock to create stable earth retention structures for civil and private development projects.
• Segmental Block Retaining Wall Retaining walls built with interlocking segmental blocks that combine structural support with aesthetic appeal for varied civil, commercial, and residential applications.
• Gabion Walls Wire basket retaining walls filled with rocks, concrete, or other heavy materials that use weight to offset lateral soil force, commonly used for shore/slope stabilization and river training.
• Sound/Noise Barriers Walls designed to block, absorb, and reduce noise pollution from highways, railways, and commercial areas, built with dense materials like concrete, masonry, and engineered panels. Used by public agencies and developers near transportation corridors.
• Fence Walls Combined fencing and wall structures that provide security, boundary definition, and noise reduction for various property types.
• Screen Walls Decorative and functional walls designed to provide visual screening and separation while maintaining aesthetic appeal across commercial, institutional, and residential sites.
• Sculpted Shotcrete Sprayed concrete technique that can be sculpted into various shapes and textures, serving both structural support and artistic applications in civil and site development projects.
• Prefabricated Bridges Precast bridge solutions offering fast and economical alternatives to traditional cast-in-place bridge construction for various span requirements. Targeted at public infrastructure and private development clients.
• In-House Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Comprehensive civil and geotechnical engineering services including design, planning, and project coordination provided by an integrated in-house team, supporting Slaton Bros' retaining wall, shoring, and bridge projects from initial planning through construction.
