Walls planned for the site

A retaining wall does more than define the edge of a yard. Its design needs to account for the ground it holds back, water, access, and nearby structures. We discuss those conditions before choosing the material and layout.

  • Natural stone retaining walls
  • Concrete block retaining wall systems
  • Brick garden and landscape walls
  • Terraced layouts for sloped properties
  • Repair and rebuilding of existing walls

Drainage and support come first

Planning a wall beside an outdoor living space? We can discuss how it meets a patio or walkway, including changes in level and where water will go.

Water behind a wall, an unsuitable base, or loads above it can contribute to movement. The right construction approach depends on the site and wall design. Larger walls and walls near structures may require engineering and local approvals. We discuss these requirements as part of defining the project.

Questions about retaining walls

Should I choose natural stone or a block retaining wall?

Natural stone brings varied texture and a traditional masonry finish. Concrete block offers a more consistent shape and appearance. We discuss the wall’s height, site access, drainage and the look of your home before recommending a material.

What affects the cost of a retaining wall?

Wall length and height, material, excavation, drainage, access and removal of an existing wall all affect the scope. Share photos and approximate dimensions so we can discuss an estimate for your property.

Can you repair a leaning retaining wall?

A leaning wall needs its cause assessed before repairs are planned. Depending on the condition, rebuilding and changes to drainage or support may be necessary.

Can a new wall match my existing stonework?

We can discuss stone, color, texture, and joint patterns that complement your property. Matching depends on the existing materials and their availability.
