About Residential Retaining Walls

Essentially, a retaining wall permits a property owner to restructure the terrain of a yard in the best way to promote effective drainage. Just like a French Drain, this simple structure may help channel the flow of water runoff in a desired direction. Consider using retaining walls as cost-effective, harmonious tools for assisting your residential waterproofing and landscaping goals. We build Residential retaining walls in a variety of sizes and thicknesses across variable distances. These structures lend both beauty and utility to yards in this area.

Many retaining walls help prevent erosion by holding the ground along the slopes of hillsides in place. (The wall effectively “retains” the earth in a desired position.) You’ve no doubt seen hundreds of retaining walls as your travel through North Carolina. Most residential developments constructed near slopes or hillsides rely on one (or more) of these structures.
