Retaining walls
A retaining wall needs to do more than look good in your garden, slope, patio or outdoor space. Proper excavation, drainage, base preparation and construction to keep your retaining wall solid over time.
RETAINING WALL CONSTRUCTION
We build retaining walls using concrete retaining wall block and natural stone, depending on the site and the look of the landscape. Walls can be used to manage slopes, create level garden or patio areas, build raised beds and make difficult spaces more usable. We can also replace older retaining walls that are leaning, failing or no longer draining properly.
Proper base prep and drainage
A retaining wall is only as good as what is behind and underneath it. We pay close attention to excavation, compacted base preparation, drainage rock, grading and drainage behind the wall. These details help manage water and reduce movement and pressure over time.
Every site is different, so we build according to the conditions of the property rather than using the same approach everywhere.
RETAINING WALLS AS PART OF YOUR LANDSCAPE
Retaining walls often become an important part of the overall landscape. We consider how the wall connects with patios, pathways, stairs, garden beds, planting and existing grades so that it feels like it belongs in the space.
