Our Work
Recent Retaining Wall Projects
Retaining walls for Marion hillsides and McDowell County properties. Engineered block and natural stone walls that hold the slope and handle mountain runoff.
At the foot of the Blue Ridge, most Marion properties have a hill to deal with and water coming off it. We design for both.
Engineered walls with geogrid reinforcement keep cut banks and steep yards stable for decades.
We build walls along driveways and behind homes where a bank was cut to make room and now needs support.
Natural stone, boulders and earth-tone block suit the foothills and blend with wooded lots.
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.
It depends on the height. Walls over 4 feet require a building permit in McDowell County, and we handle the engineering and paperwork as part of the job. Lower walls usually do not need one.
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.
