Retaining Walls & Concrete Masonry
Strong, functional retaining walls that protect your property and enhance your landscape.
If your yard has a slope, you probably deal with erosion, drainage issues, or wasted space. A retaining wall solves these problems by holding back soil, creating usable flat areas, and directing water where it needs to go. It also adds structure and visual interest to your landscape.
We build retaining walls and concrete masonry structures that are both functional and attractive. Whether you need a small garden wall or a large structural wall to support your property, we have the experience and expertise to build it right. Here in University Place, WA, we understand the challenges of sloped lots and heavy rainfall, and we design walls that handle these conditions with ease.
Why Install a Retaining Wall
Retaining walls do more than just hold back dirt. Here are the key benefits they provide:
- •Prevent erosion: Sloped yards lose soil during heavy rain. A retaining wall stops erosion and protects your property.
- •Create usable space: Turn a sloped yard into flat, usable areas for patios, gardens, or play areas.
- •Improve drainage: Properly designed walls redirect water away from your home and prevent pooling and flooding.
- •Increase property value: A well-built retaining wall enhances curb appeal and makes your property more functional and attractive to buyers.
- •Add structure and beauty: Retaining walls define spaces, create visual interest, and complement your landscaping.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build
We offer several types of retaining walls to fit your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences:
Poured Concrete Walls
These are the strongest and most durable option. We pour solid concrete walls reinforced with steel rebar. Poured concrete walls can handle significant loads and are ideal for tall walls or structural applications. They can also be finished with stucco, stone veneer, or paint for a custom look.
Concrete Block (CMU) Walls
Concrete masonry units are stacked and mortared to create strong, versatile walls. These walls are faster to build than poured concrete and offer excellent strength and durability. They can be left natural or finished with stucco or stone for added visual appeal.
Interlocking Block Walls
These systems use pre-cast concrete blocks that interlock without mortar. They are easier to install and offer a variety of colors and textures. Interlocking block walls work well for residential applications and shorter walls.
Stone Veneer Walls
For a natural, high-end look, we can apply stone veneer over a concrete or block wall. This gives you the beauty of natural stone with the strength and durability of concrete. It is a popular choice for front yards and visible areas where appearance matters. We also handle related projects like concrete patios and flatwork.
