As a core part of our Hardscape Design & Construction practice, this discipline is where the craft becomes specific — the techniques, materials, and tolerances that separate generational work from passable work.

A retaining wall is a structural element first and a landscape feature second. Forget either responsibility and the project fails — sometimes spectacularly.

Our retaining walls are engineered to current IBC standards, drained to prevent hydrostatic failure, and faced in stone or board-formed concrete chosen to fit the architecture.

Anything over four feet gets stamped engineering. Below that, we still build to engineered standards: geogrid reinforcement, perforated drain at the base, gravel backfill, and proper batter.
