New Retaining Walls
Walls that hold a slope back from a drive, a yard or the house, or turn a steep bank into level ground you can use. The wall line, its height and the base it sits on are worked out on site before anything is dug.

Retaining Walls
A retaining wall holds soil back where the yard changes level: along a driveway cut, around a sloped bed, or where a patio is set into a hill. We walk the site first, because the grade, the soil and where the water goes decide how the wall has to be built.
Plan your project
Work we can discuss at your consultation
Raised Beds, Steps & Seat Walls
Low walls that hold planting beds, steps set into a slope, and seat walls around a patio are planned together with the beds and paving around them, so the wall, the planting and the hardscape work as one layout.
Base, Drainage & Backfill
Where the water comes from and where it is trying to go decide what goes behind the wall. Excavation for the base, drainage behind the wall and the backfill are part of the wall scope, not an afterthought.
Repairing or Rebuilding a Failing Wall
When a wall is leaning, bulging or washing out, we look at why it moved first: the grade above it, the water behind it and the base under it. Then we recommend a repair or a rebuild, so the same problem is not built back in.
Before we visit
These details help us understand the property and the work you need. We will confirm the final scope after looking at the site.
- Show us the slope, how much ground the wall needs to hold, and where the wall would start and stop.
- Point out where water runs or stands after a rain, downspouts that empty toward the area, and any soft or wet ground.
- Tell us about septic lines, buried utilities, irrigation and anything else underground near the wall line.
- Note how equipment and material can reach the area: gates, fences, tight side yards, or lawn you want protected.
- If an existing wall is failing, tell us when it started to move and share any photos of how it has changed.
