How we build our retaining walls


Soil is removed and replaced by gravel to drain water, prevent frost heaves and the wall from settling in mud. Gravel is placed behind the wall for drainage since tremendous pressure can be put on a wall after a major rainstorm if the water is not allowed to drain. Landscaping cloth is placed around the gravel to prevent soil from seeping into the gravel or the gravel from flowing through the concrete block wall. And as always, we'll carefully protect the surrounding property and grade any disturbed land. We are a retaining wall company that cares for your property as we build a sturdy, long lasting retaining wall.


Your wall will last a lifetime.
