Natural Stone Retaining Walls

If you’re looking for a timeless beauty that seamlessly integrates with your landscape while also being highly durable, a natural stone retaining wall is the perfect choice. Our skilled retaining wall installers utilize reinforcement systems and effective drainage solutions to ensure these stone structures last decades without shifting or bulging.

Brick Retaining Walls

Brick combines classic character with design flexibility. In our brick retaining walls, we precisely lay each course and integrate drainage appropriately. These walls beautifully complement brick homes or garden paths, creating a cohesive appearance while effectively retaining soil.

Concrete Retaining Walls

When maximum strength is your top priority, poured-in-place or block concrete retaining walls are the ideal solution. We utilize high-quality mixes (or wall blocks) and reinforcement systems that enable these walls to support greater heights and heavier loads.

Main Benefits of Installing a Retaining Wall

Getting started with our retaining wall construction services means enjoying several benefits of a retaining wall, such as:

  • Erosion Control: A well-engineered wall stabilizes soil, preventing washouts during heavy rains.
  • More usable space: Terracing can turn a steep hillside into patios, gardens, or play areas.
  • Protects foundations and hardscapes: Controlling run-off reduces water pressure against basements, driveways, and pool decks.
  • Boosts curb appeal and value: Stylish materials and clean lines add a polished, permanent touch that potential buyers notice.

icon Our Frequently Asked Questions

How long do retaining walls last?

With proper design and installation, most retaining walls stand strong for 40 to 100 years. Natural stone and reinforced concrete sit at the upper end of that range, while other materials may need replacement sooner. Regular inspections, prompt retaining wall repair, and re-sealing materials every few years will maximize lifespan and keep small issues from snowballing into major failures.

Do retaining walls need drainage?

Yes. Behind every efficient retaining wall is a hidden drainage system, usually consisting of perforated pipes set in gravel and strategically placed weep holes. This design helps alleviate hydrostatic pressure, which can lead to bowing, cracking, or pushing of the wall. Failing to include a drainage system is the leading cause of early wall failure, so professional installers should always ensure it is incorporated, even in shorter garden walls.

What is the Best Material for a Retaining Wall?

The “best” material depends on your site conditions and the style you want to achieve. Reinforced concrete is the top choice for raw strength and height. Natural stone excels when aesthetics and longevity are priorities. On the other side, brick strikes a balance, offering visual warmth with reliable durability. During your consultation, we evaluate soil type, slope, and load requirements to recommend the optimal solution for your property.
