Retaining Walls

Often made from natural stone, retaining walls create distinct borders and form layered functional landscapes. Rolling terrain can be made into a series of terraces, each one serving a function and aesthetically pleasing – all while helping to manage sloping ground where water drainage and runoff contribute to soil erosion.

Before Building a Retaining Wall

Know These Important Tips

Why Do We Need Retaining Walls?

Main purpose of retaining walls is to act as a barriers. They can act as aesthetic pieces in our landscapes while also serving a practical function. Whether its purpose is to prevent water from washing away soil or creating flat usable spaces for outdoor living depends on your needs. Homeowners who regularly have soil spill over into their yards or have water that drains onto their lawn need to have a retaining wall installed.

Why Do Retaining Walls Fail?

Retaining walls that aren’t built using high-quality materials or ones that are built hastily and without proper planning often fail. Skilled installation and the quality of materials used for the build matter greatly. If you need a retaining wall built in your yard, you should consider having a professional landscaping company install it for you.

How We Use Gravel & Soil

We use gravel to support the foundation of your retaining wall and soil to promote drainage. The soil will absorb and hold water while the gravel or small stones promote a sturdy foundation for your retaining wall.

How We Use Drain Pipes

Once the wall is up, the water will puddle up behind it and cause damage to the wall and its foundation if not properly drained. We install drainage pipes to carry excess water to a proper draining site in a way that won’t cause harm to your yard.

How We Select Materials
