Explore Our Retaining Wall Options
Retaining walls are one of the most effective hardscaping features for creating usable spaces and presenting erosion. We offer three types of retaining walls to fit different styles, budgets, and property needs:
A natural, cost-effective option ideal for residential yards, garden borders, and gently sloped areas. Timber retaining walls provide a warm, rustic aesthetic and are perfect for lower-height applications where quick installation is a plus.

Stone Retaining Walls
Ideal for homeowners seeking timeless beauty and long-lasting durability. Stone walls blend seamlessly into natural landscapes and work well in tiered gardens, decorative spaces, and upscale outdoor designs where aesthetics and structure matter equally.
Block Retaining Walls
Great for supporting driveways, managing steep slopes, or creating level patios and play areas. Concrete block walls are strong, clean-lined, and highly functional—ideal for both structural support and modern curb appeal.

Our Retaining Wall Process
We follow a proven installation process to ensure your retaining wall is strong, stable, and built to last in Western North Carolina’s mountain terrain.
1. On-Site Visit & Evaluation
We walk your property, assess the slope, soil, and drainage patterns, and help you choose the best wall style and materials for your needs.
2. Custom Design & Transparent Pricing
You’ll receive a clear estimate outlining materials, timeline, and options tailored to your property and budget—no surprises, ever.
3. Excavation & Site Preparation
We dig out the wall footprint, grade the area, and prepare the base with proper compaction to prevent settling or shifting over time.
4. Install Drainage System
Every wall we build includes essential drainage solutions—such as gravel backfill, perforated drainpipe, and geogrid reinforcement when needed—to protect the structure for decades.
5. Wall Construction
Whether stone, timber, or block, we install each layer with precision, ensuring level rows, tight fits, and long-term stability.
6. Finishing Touches
We clean up the work area, grade the surrounding soil, and ensure your yard looks neat and ready for landscaping.
7. Final Walkthrough
Before we leave, we walk the project with you to ensure everything meets our standards—and yours.
We also design and build custom patios that pair beautifully with retaining walls to create complete outdoor living spaces.
