What this service includes
A retaining wall lives or dies by what is behind it. Anybody can stack block; the part that matters is the footing, the backfill, and the drainage that keeps water from building up and pushing the wall over. We build retaining, site, and landscape walls in block or stone, sized to the slope and the soil, with the drainage done right the first time so you are not rebuilding it in five years.
- Block and stone retaining and site walls
- Drainage, gravel backfill, and proper footings
- Landscape, garden, and terraced walls
- Replacing failed or leaning walls
When to call
Call when you need a practical masonry estimate, visible repair, replacement, new construction, or help understanding whether a wall, slab, patio, facade, or outdoor feature can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt.
Common questions
Why do retaining walls fail?
Almost always it is water and base. With no drainage behind the wall, rain builds up pressure until the wall leans or cracks. A weak footing does the same thing. We build the part you cannot see — the drainage and base — so the part you can see stays put.
How tall can a retaining wall be?
Short landscape walls are straightforward. Once a wall gets past about four feet it is holding back a lot of weight and needs more reinforcement and planning. We will tell you what your situation calls for.
