Why Build A Retaining Wall
Whether you want to manage a slope or enhance your yard’s layout, retaining walls provide both practical and visual benefits for your property.
Prevent Soil Erosion
Heavy rain and runoff can damage your yard over time. A properly built retaining wall holds soil in place, protecting your landscape and maintaining its shape.
Create More Usable Space
Transform sloped or uneven areas into flat, functional spaces for lawns, patios, or gardens. Retaining walls help you make the most of every part of your yard.
Improve Drainage
Strategically designed retaining walls can direct water away from your home, walkways, and planting areas — reducing erosion and water damage.
Enhance Curb Appeal
Retaining walls add texture, depth, and structure to your landscape. With natural stone or modular block options, they serve as both a functional feature and a beautiful design element that elevates your property’s look.
Maintenance and Aftercare for Modular Block Retaining Walls
We don’t just dig and drop in a plant—we take the time to plan it right. From privacy hedge layout to centerpiece shrubs that frame your porch, every choice is about balance, function, and year-round beauty.
Regular Inspections: Check your wall periodically for any signs of shifting, cracking, or bulging. Addressing these issues early can prevent larger problems from developing.
Weed Control: Weeds can sometimes grow in the joints between blocks. Remove weeds by hand or apply a non-toxic herbicide to prevent root growth that may affect the wall's integrity.
Drainage Maintenance: Proper drainage is essential for the longevity of your wall. Keep the drainage system clear of debris to prevent water from building up behind the wall, which could cause pressure and potential shifting.
Cleaning the Wall: Use a mild soap and water solution or a power washer (on a low setting) to clean any dirt or algae buildup from the blocks, especially in shaded areas.
Avoid Heavy Loads Near the Wall: Avoid placing heavy structures, such as sheds or large planters, near the edge of the retaining wall to prevent unnecessary pressure that could lead to shifting.
Winter Care: Use sand or a non-corrosive deicing product in the winter to prevent ice buildup near the wall. Avoid using salt-based deicers, as they can cause damage to the blocks over time.
