Why You Need a Retaining Wall

Retaining walls solve problems and create opportunities on sloped properties. They hold back soil, prevent erosion, create usable flat areas, and add structure to your landscape. Whether you're dealing with a steep yard, want to build a terraced garden, or need to protect your foundation from soil pressure, a properly built retaining wall provides the solution.

We build retaining walls that last. Our team understands the engineering principles that make walls stable and safe. We consider soil type, drainage, wall height, and load requirements. You get a wall that holds back soil effectively, drains properly, and looks good doing it.

Retaining Wall Options

We install several types of retaining walls to match your needs and budget:

  • Poured concrete walls for maximum strength and clean appearance
  • Concrete block walls that combine durability with design flexibility
  • Segmental retaining wall blocks in various colors and textures
  • Boulder and natural stone walls for a rustic, organic look
  • Tiered wall systems to manage large elevation changes

Each wall type has advantages. We help you choose based on wall height, soil conditions, aesthetic preferences, and budget. The right choice depends on your specific situation.

Built to Stand Strong

Retaining walls require careful construction. We excavate and prepare a proper base, install drainage systems behind the wall to prevent water buildup, and build the wall with appropriate reinforcement. Backfill is placed and compacted in stages. The wall is designed to resist the lateral pressure from the soil it's holding back.

For taller walls or difficult soil conditions, we may need to install geo-grid reinforcement or tie-backs. We follow engineering requirements and obtain necessary permits. The result is a retaining wall that performs its job without tilting, cracking, or failing. Ready to solve your slope problem or create more usable space? Let's evaluate your property and design a wall system that works.

Once your retaining wall creates level space, consider adding a concrete patio for outdoor living, or concrete walkways to access different levels of your property.
