Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

When properly designed, retaining walls effectively divide your landscape and allow for grade type corrections. Retaining wall material is selected to fit the budget and aesthetic appeal for the landscape. Common wall types are Modular Block, Pressure-Treated Timber, and Dry-Stack Boulders.
