Retaining Walls

Why Retaining Walls Matter

On sloped or uneven terrain, retaining walls are often essential — not just decorative. They hold back soil, prevent erosion, protect your foundation from shifting ground, and create flat, usable space on otherwise challenging lots. A properly built retaining wall is a structural element that has to be built correctly to perform over the long term.

Retaining Wall Options

Poured Concrete Walls — Maximum strength and a clean appearance. Best for taller walls and structural applications where load bearing is critical.
Decorative Concrete Block — Modular block system with a natural stone appearance. Great for landscaping walls, garden beds, and shorter decorative applications.
Combination Walls — Structural concrete core with decorative block or stone veneer facing — the best of both function and aesthetics.

Our Installation Process

Step 1

Site Assessment

Evaluate grade change, drainage, soil conditions, and required wall height and structure.

Step 2

Excavation & Footer

Excavate to required depth and pour a concrete footer below the frost line for stability.

Step 3

Drainage Layer

Install gravel backfill and perforated drain pipe to relieve hydrostatic pressure behind the wall.

Step 4

Wall Construction

Build the wall with proper batter (backward lean) for long-term stability under soil pressure.

Step 5

Backfill & Compact

Backfill behind wall in lifts, compacting carefully to prevent settlement.

Step 6

Final Grade & Cleanup

Final grading, site cleanup, and walkthrough to make sure you're completely satisfied.
