Retaining Walls

Bringing Design and Function Together

Add stability and style with a custom Retaining Wall!

Retaining walls add stability to a property’s overall landscape design. The types of retaining walls we have constructed combine form and function to achieve a healthy balance.

In addition to adding visual interest, retaining walls are often used to control erosion, manage runoff, create level spaces for patios, gardens, or structures. Retaining walls can be used to literally sculpt the landscape and transform unusable hills into outdoor living spaces.  Low seat walls can also be free-standing, or used to retain soil for a planting bed or elevation change.  They are also popular around swimming pools and fire pits.

Stacked Stone

Stacked Stone Walls are constructed by specially trained staff without mortar between the stones. Yet they are strong, stable, lasting and uniquely beautiful.

Boulder Walls

Boulder Walls are often built from smooth, round glacial boulders, but there are many other boulder wall options to choose from. Boulder retaining wall design ideas are impressive with the raw beauty of the stones and the feeling of strength and sturdiness. They can have a different purpose – to strengthen a sloped terrain, they can be purely decorative, or used to mark the boundaries of a plot.
