RETAINING WALLS

Block or Boulder: Choosing a Retaining Wall Style

Both hold a slope. They just look and feel different in the yard.

Block walls are uniform. Each unit is the same size, the courses line up, and the cap gives a clean top edge. Block works well near the house, along a driveway, or anywhere you want a crisp line.

Boulder walls are built from natural stone, each piece set and keyed by hand. They feel like they belong in a wooded or sloped yard, and they get better looking as plants grow in around them.

Both need the same things underneath: a compacted footing, drainage stone and pipe behind the wall, and the right lean back into the slope. Skip those and either style will fail.

Not sure which you want? We bring samples and photos to the estimate and walk the slope with you before anything is decided.
