They installed a French drain system and redirected the stormwater away from the house. The results were immediate — after the next big rain, not a single puddle. The team was professional, on time, and left the yard looking even better than before. It’s rare to find a business that combines great service with real expertise, but these guys nailed it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How tall can a retaining wall be?

Shorter walls under four feet are common and straightforward. Taller walls require additional engineering, reinforcement, and proper drainage behind the wall. We will scope the height and reinforcement needed based on your slope, soil, and load conditions.

Do retaining walls need drainage built in?

Yes. Water pressure behind a wall is one of the main reasons walls fail. We integrate proper backfill, drain pipe, and outlet points so storm water management is handled at the wall itself, not left to fight against it.

What materials do you build retaining walls from?

We build retaining walls from natural stone, pressure treated wood, and brick masonry. The right choice depends on the wall height, the look you want, and site conditions. Many projects also pair well with concrete features when the design calls for it.

How long do retaining walls last?

A properly built wall with correct base prep, reinforcement, and drainage can last decades. Most failures we see in the area come from skipped drainage or undersized footings, which we plan for from the start so the wall stays sound.

How much does a retaining wall cost?

Pricing depends on length, height, material, drainage requirements, and site access. We will scope the project, work through the details with you, and get a free quote here for your specific wall.
