A retaining wall holds back soil on a sloped lot, controls erosion, and creates level, usable space in your yard. We handle everything from soil assessment through final construction, sized correctly for your property's grade.

A retaining wall holds back soil on sloped ground, preventing erosion and creating level, usable space where there wasn't any before — a terraced garden bed, a flat backyard, a raised planting area. Getting it right depends on correctly sizing the wall for the soil type and slope you're working with, and building in proper drainage behind it so water pressure doesn't build up and push the wall out of position over time.
A retaining wall stops soil erosion on sloped ground and turns unusable slope into flat, functional space — a terraced garden, a level patio area, or a walkable backyard. Walls taller than a few feet typically require engineering review and permitting depending on local codes; we'll help determine what your specific project needs before we start.

We build segmental block walls (interlocking concrete units, the most common option for residential walls), natural stone walls for a more organic look, and gravity walls for shorter applications where the wall's own weight holds back the soil. Which type makes sense depends on the wall's height, the soil conditions, and the look you want — we'll walk through the trade-offs during your consultation.
Segmental concrete blocks are the most common material for residential retaining walls — durable, consistent, and available in a range of colors and textures. Natural stone offers a more irregular, custom look at a higher cost. Timber is an option for shorter, less permanent walls. We'll recommend a material based on your wall's height, the look you're going for, and your budget.

During the design phase, we assess your soil type, the slope's grade, and where water naturally flows across your property. This determines the wall's engineering requirements — how deep the base needs to be, whether drainage pipe is needed behind the wall, and how tall the wall can safely be built. We'll walk you through these specifics before construction starts, since they directly affect both the wall's cost and how long it lasts.
Installation starts with excavating a trench for the base and compacting a gravel foundation — this base is what determines whether the wall stays put over time. We install drainage pipe behind the wall where needed, then build up each course, backfilling with gravel as we go. We keep you updated as work progresses, and inspect the finished wall for level and stability before considering the project complete.

Retaining walls are typically needed when a property has a slope steep enough to cause erosion, or when you want to create level, usable space out of a sloped yard.
We work with segmental concrete blocks, natural stone, and other materials depending on the wall's height, purpose, and the look you're going for.
A properly engineered and installed retaining wall, with correct drainage behind it, can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Taller retaining walls often require a permit and engineering review depending on local codes. We'll help determine what's needed for your specific project.
