    What We Do

    A retaining wall is a structural element, not landscaping. We build segmental block, natural boulder, and poured concrete retaining walls with proper footings, drainage stone, geogrid reinforcement on taller walls, and weep holes. Done right, they hold for decades.

    Who This Is For

    • Homeowners terracing a sloped backyard
    • Property owners with an eroding hillside or driveway cut
    • Folks needing to level a building pad or patio area
    • Anyone whose existing wall is bulging, leaning, or has failed

    What's Included

    • Site survey and wall layout
    • Footing excavation below frost line
    • Compacted crushed-stone footing base
    • Segmental block, natural stone, or formed concrete construction
    • Drainage stone backfill with filter fabric
    • Perforated drain pipe to daylight
    • Geogrid reinforcement on walls over 4 feet
    • Engineered drawings and permits when required

    Our Process

    Straight process. No surprises. No hidden fees.

    01

    Assess & design

    Walk the site, check soil and drainage, plan height and length. Engineered drawings on walls over 4 feet.

    02

    Excavate & base

    Dig footing trench below frost line, install compacted crushed-stone base. The base is what keeps it level long-term.

    03

    Build the wall

    Set first course dead level, stack with proper batter, install geogrid every few courses on tall walls, cap the top.

    04

    Backfill & drain

    Drainage stone behind the wall, filter fabric, perforated pipe to daylight. Backfill in lifts, compact, and finish grade.

    Retaining Walls — FAQs

    Three reasons, almost always: no drainage behind the wall (water builds hydrostatic pressure and pushes it over), no geogrid on walls over 4 feet (the wall tips forward), or a bad base (the wall settles unevenly). We do all three right.
