Discover how individualized design and homeowner education promote lasting results.
Designing With Aesthetic Elements
Your retaining wall doesn’t have to be a boring gray slab. Our team works hard to design with intention, selecting materials and layouts to create a cohesive space you love.
Materials & Finishes
The modular block systems we use provide a strong, durable base. Then we can go in with a natural stone facing to add a custom, high-end look.
Visual Interest
We can incorporate stone patterns, subtle color variations, or contrasting stripes to give your wall character. Limestone caps offer a soft, polished finish that blends seamlessly with the landscape.
Landscaping Integration
A popular choice we offer is plants above or around the wall to help soften its appearance, which also makes it feel more natural. Thoughtful landscaping ensures the wall complements your outdoor space while enhancing the overall curb appeal.
Educating Clients on Longevity & Maintenance
Having a little background information about retaining walls can go a long way for their longevity.
Load Limits
Retaining walls aren’t usually built to withstand the pressure exerted by vehicles. Please inform our team if you intend to park on your retaining wall, so that we can take the necessary engineering measures.
Drainage Solutions
You need proper water management to protect your retaining wall. Downspouts should direct water away from the wall’s base to prevent erosion and structural damage.
Common Misconceptions
Building a new wall directly in front of a failing one won’t fix your problem. Left unchecked, the old wall could fall and jeopardize the new structure. You need a team that can remove or integrate existing structures to protect your home.
Homeowner Awareness
Regular inspections help identify early signs of failure. If you notice that any pavers have shifted or cracked, water has started collecting, or any increased leaning, give us a call.
