Retaining Walls That Solve Problems & Elevate your Yard

GET STARTED

If your yard has a slope, erosion issues, or areas that feel unusable, a retaining wall can completely transform how your space looks and functions.

At Wallis Landscape, we design and build retaining walls that combine structural support, long-lasting durability, and natural-looking beauty.

What is a Retaining Wall and Why Do You Need One?

A retaining wall is designed to hold back soil and create level areas in your yard. Homeowners typically need one when:
  • Your yard has a slope or elevation change
  • Soil is washing away (erosion)
  • To create usable, flat space
  • Need support for patios, walkways, or landscaping
It's not just about looks—it’s about stability and function.

What Problems Can a Retaining Wall Fix?

A properly built retaining wall can solve:

  • Erosion and soil washout
  • Sloped or unusable yard space
  • Drainage issues tied to evelvation
  • Failing or collapsing landscape areas
  • Uneven transitions between outdoor spaces

Many of our projects combine retaining walls with drainage solutions for long-term results.

🧱 DID YOU KNOW?
A properly built retaining wall can help prevent erosion, improve drainage, protect your property, and create more usable outdoor space.

What Types of Retainings Walls Do You Build?

  • Segmental block retaining walls (durable and structured)
  • Decorative wall systems for added visual appeal
  • Tiered retaining walls for larger slopes
  • Walls with integrated steps for accessibility
  • Seating walls that double as usable space

We often use trusted systems like Keystone and Tremron for long-lasting performance.

How Do You Build a Retaining Wall That Lasts?

A retaining wall is only as good as what's behind it:

  • Proper excavation and base preparation
  • Compacted gravel foundation
  • Drainage built into the wall system
  • Reinforecement for long term stability
  • Clean, finished installation

We design each wall to match your property, not force a one-size-fits-all solution.

⚠️ EROSION OFTEN GETS WORSE OVER TIME
What starts as exposed roots or washing mulch can eventually lead to unstable slopes, drainage issues, and damage to your landscape.

What is The Best Retaining Wall for My Yard?

The best solution depends on:

  • Height and slope of your yard
  • Soil Condisions
  • Drainage needs
  • Overall design goals

We design each wall to match your property—not force a one-size-fits-all solution.


Examples of What We've Done For Homeowners:

  • Integrated steps into retaining wall systems
  • Built structual walls to stop severe erosion
  • Created tiered walls to transform steep slopes
  • Added seating walls around patios
  • Combined walls with drainage and new landscaping

These projects don't just fix problems, they completely upgrade the space.

Retaining Wall FAQ's

Find answers about drainage problems, solutions, and what to expect.

How much does a retaining wall cost?

Retaining wall costs vary based on the wall size, materials, drainage requirements, and the complexity of the property. We provide custom solutions designed specifically for your yard and long-term needs.

How long does a retaining wall last?

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

Do retaining walls need drainage?

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

Can you add steps to a retaining wall?

Absolutely. We frequently design walls with integrated steps to improve access and flow in the 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 wall.
