Recent Retaining Wall Projects
Retaining walls, seat walls and garden walls for Shelby homes. Clean grade changes around patios, pools and driveways, built on a proper base with drainage.
Shelby yards are gentler than the mountains, so walls here are usually about shaping the space: levelling a patio area, framing a pool, or fixing a wet corner of the yard.
A low wall levels a patio or pool area and gives the yard a finished edge instead of a slope that washes out.
Walls at sitting height double as extra seating around a fire pit and frame planting beds near the house.
Piedmont clay drains slowly. Every wall gets gravel backfill and an outlet for water so it does not lean over time.
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.
Often, yes. Even a foot or two of grade change is enough to make a patio feel sloped or send water toward the house. A low wall fixes that, and at seat height it adds usable seating at the same time.
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.
