Retaining walls stabilize soil and rock from down slope movement or erosion and provide support for vertical or steep grade changes.
Most of the home retaining walls are gravity walls that are basically a large mass of either natural garden stone, boulders, railroad ties or landscape blocks.
The once popular inexpensive railroad tie wall has fallen out of favor due to environmental concerns.
They also decompose with time.
People that like the look of wood now go with 6x6 treated ties.

Retaining walls are often required as a solution to a problem, but can also be a beautiful part of your landscape.
Choosing the right material is very important when building a retaining wall to last.
Soil conditions, height of the wall, forces on the wall and equipment access are all factors that will help us determine which type of wall is best for you.
Whether stone, boulder, or block, we can then select a material that compliments your home and landscaping, and fits your budget.
We design & install custom retaining walls.
While a retaining wall can structure property and support land, we believe it should do more.
A quality retaining wall compliments the full spectrum of your property, including existing architecture, landscapes, textures and colors.
Additionally, we believe it should withstand the tests of time.
By surpassing standards set by The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and applying focus on planning & engineering, you can trust your wall will last.
