Retaining Wall Installation

What This Service Involves

A retaining wall does serious structural work – holding back soil, creating usable level ground on a slope, and stopping erosion. We build walls in block, natural stone, or timber, engineered with the proper base, backfill, and drainage that most failed walls lack. Behind every good wall is gravel backfill and drain pipe that relieve the water pressure the wet Pacific Northwest builds up. Built right, a retaining wall performs for decades and turns unusable slope into space you can actually use.
