Retaining Wall Construction
Structural and decorative walls that tame slopes and create usable yard space.
On the sloped, hilly lots common across Southwest Virginia, a well-built retaining wall is often the key to a usable, attractive yard. Retaining walls hold back soil, stop erosion, prevent washouts, and turn steep, wasted areas into level, functional space — for a patio, a garden, a play area, or simply a flat lawn.
A retaining wall has to be engineered to do its job, and that means proper excavation, a solid base, drainage behind the wall, and correct block placement and backfill. We build walls that are structurally sound and built to last, and we make them look great too — from clean, modern block to natural stone that complements your landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water pressure behind a wall is the number one cause of failure. We build in gravel backfill and drainage so water escapes and doesn’t push against the wall over time.
