Engineered retaining walls for Asheville mountain lots. Multi-tier systems, driveway and parking walls, and natural stone walls that hold steep ground and move water safely.
In Asheville a retaining wall is often what makes a lot usable at all. Steep grades and heavy rain leave no room for shortcuts.
Two or three shorter walls stepped up a hillside are stronger than one tall one, and the terraces between them become planting beds or level lawn.
We build walls that carve out and support level parking and driveway edges on lots where there is nowhere flat to put a car.
Mountain rain finds the weak point. Gravel backfill, drain pipe and surface grading are designed before the first block is set.
Designed in 3D first if you want to see it, then built by our own crew. More about our retaining wall service →
Engineered systems such as Allan Block, built for strength and long-term stability.
Fieldstone and dry-stack stone walls that blend into the landscape.
Terraced walls that turn a steep slope into usable levels.
Gravel backfill, fabric and drain pipe behind every wall.
Walls and grading that stop a hillside from washing out.
Low walls that add seating and frame planting beds.
As tall as the site needs, when it is engineered for it. Taller walls use geogrid reinforcement tied back into the hillside and typically need engineering and a permit, which we handle. On very steep lots we usually recommend terracing with several shorter walls instead.
Segmental block retaining walls typically run $25 to $50 per square foot installed, and natural stone runs higher. Height, length, access and drainage all affect the price. For a quick ballpark, try our free online Cost Estimator, then contact us for a firm quote after a site visit.
Yes. Poor drainage is the main reason walls fail. Every wall we build includes gravel backfill, drainage fabric and perforated pipe where needed, so water pressure never builds up behind it.
