Building a Retaining Wall

Retaining walls serve multiple purposes in landscaping, from preventing problems like soil erosion and drainage issues, to creating an aesthetically pleasing feature in your landscape design.

Like patios, there are many different types of materials to consider when designing your retaining wall. Our landscape design team will meet with you to understand your needs and your style and develop a plan to fit your budget.
