How much does a retaining wall cost?

Costs vary based on the size, height, materials, and site conditions. Most retaining walls are custom-built, so we provide on-site evaluations to give accurate pricing.

How long does a retaining wall last?

When properly installed with the right base and drainage, retaining walls can last for decades.

Do retaining walls need drainage?

Yes. Proper drainage is critical. Without it, pressure builds up behind the wall and can cause failure over time.

Can you add steps into a retaining wall?

Yes. Retaining walls can be designed with integrated steps to improve access and flow in your yard.

Do I need a retaining wall or just grading?

It depends on the slope and severity of the issue. Some yards can be corrected with grading, while others require structural support from a retaining wall.

Water Problems That Damage Your Outdoor Space

Standing water, soggy lawns, and foundation damage happen when drainage fails. Wallis Landscape designs drainage solutions that protect your property and make your yard usable again.

Standing water in your yard
Erosion washing away soil and plants
Water pooling near patios and walkways

Why Is Water Pooling In My Yard?

Water issues usually come from one (or more) of these:

Poor grading (yard doesn't slope correctly)
Downspouts dumping water too close to the house
Heavy clay soil that doesn't absorb water well
Low spots where water naturally collects
Erosion creating uneven surfaces

The key is identifying the real cause - not just the symptom.

💧 DID YOU KNOW?

Poor drainage can eventually damage patios, landscaping, and foundations if left untreated.

What Problems Can Poor Drainage Cause?

Foundation damage
Erosion and washout
Dead or struggling grass
Mosquito and pest issues
Damage to patios, walkways, and landscaping

If water is sitting, it’s slowly causing damage somewhere.

How Do You Fix Drainage Issues In a Yard?

We design solutions based on your specific property, which may include:

Underground drain systems (downspout tie-ins with pop-up emitters)
French drains to redirect water flow
Dry creek beds for natural-looking drainage control
Regrading the yard to improve slope
Catch basins for problem areas

Most yards need a conbination of solutions - not just one fix.

💧 Drainage Issues Often Start Small

Standing water and erosion can quietly damage your yard, foundation, and outdoor spaces over time.

What Is The Best Drainage Solution For My Yard?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The best solution depends on:

Your yard’s slope and layout
Soil type
Where the water is coming from
Where the water needs to go

That’s why we walk every property and design a plan that actually works long-term—not just a quick fix.
