Retaining walls

retaining wall

A retaining wall can do more than just retain earth and support land; it can also add a beautiful accent or eye-catching feature to any outdoor living space.

Rock

Landscape boulders ranging from 18-48 inches set to retain and create aesthetic planters.

Block

A commonly used method of retaining wall is using blocks built of concrete or stackable Belgard for the purpose of vertical retention.

Timber

Pressure treated timbers are tied to the hillside for a natural looking retaining wall.

Concrete

A wall built of concrete and set on freeze line footing and tied with steel for reinforcement. The surface can remain brick, stucco, or concrete.

Dry Stack

A dry stack stone retaining wall is a structure that is built without mortar and is usually built against a slight hill preventing the down-slope movement and erosion of earth from sliding into a building, road or other area. Because there is no use of mortar in the building of this type of retaining wall, it can naturally drain moisture from the soil. Sandstone is the most common medium.
