Retaining walls turn slopes into usable space: a flat lawn, a terraced garden, a patio cut into a hillside, or a driveway that no longer washes out. They also carry a lot of weight. When a wall leans, bulges or cracks, the cause is almost always water building up behind it or a base that was never right.
We build walls the way they need to be built in Colorado: a compacted base, drain rock behind the wall, perforated drain pipe at the footing to carry water out, and geogrid reinforcement or engineered design where height and load call for it. Our crews build segmental block walls, boulder walls, natural stone and stone-veneer walls, and cast-in-place concrete walls, which is the same structural work our commercial division does on larger projects.
Not every wall holds back a hill. Seat walls, planter walls and low garden walls define patios and beds and add seating around a fire pit, and we match them to the rest of your hardscape.
