Why a Properly Built Wall Matters

A retaining wall is holding back tons of soil, and in the Puget Sound that soil is often wet. Walls that are built without a solid base or proper drainage are the ones that lean, bulge, or fail. Water pressure behind a wall is one of the biggest reasons walls fail, so we build every wall with drainage in mind.

✔ Solid, compacted base below the first course
✔ Drain rock and perforated pipe behind the wall
✔ Proper setback and batter into the slope
✔ Built to engineered plans when height or permits require it

Our Retaining Wall Services

Every slope is different. We’ll help you pick the wall type that fits your property, your budget and the look you want.

Rockeries (Boulder Walls)

Natural stacked-boulder walls, a Pacific Northwest classic. Strong, long-lasting and a great fit for steep slopes and wooded lots.

Block Walls

Segmental block walls with a clean, finished look. Ideal for patios, driveways, garden beds and yards where you want crisp lines.

Ecology Block Walls

Large interlocking concrete blocks for heavy-duty retaining, cut banks, material bins and fast, cost-effective walls.

Tiered & Terraced Walls

Multiple shorter walls that step up a slope, adding usable flat space and planting areas while reducing the load on any one wall.

Wall Repair & Rebuild

Leaning, bulging or failing wall? We tear out and rebuild it the right way, with a proper base and drainage so it doesn't happen again.

Our Retaining Wall Process

Puget Sound slopes and wet soils demand walls built with a solid base and real drainage.

Engineered When Needed, Built to Last

Taller walls and walls that hold up a driveway, building or slope often need an engineered design and a permit. We build to engineered plans and local requirements, and we’ll let you know up front if your wall needs one.

  • Site visit: check the slope, soil and water
  • Plan: pick the wall type and give a clear quote
