Retaining Walls
Walls that hold the grade, move the water, and turn a slope you can’t use into space you can.
Call (801) 571-7336A Slope Is Wasted Space
Most Utah lots have a grade problem somewhere — a bank too steep to plant, a hillside shedding water toward the house, a back yard that drops away before it becomes usable. A retaining wall solves all three at once.
We build in boulder and natural stone, dry stack, sandstone, Belgard and manufactured block, Redi-Rock, CMU and cinder block, poured concrete, MSE, Corten steel, steel plate and treated lumber. What matters more than the material is what sits behind it: a compacted base, drainage, and the right backfill. That’s what decides whether a wall is still straight in twenty years.
Every wall we build includes:
- A site assessment covering soil, slope and where water actually goes
- Engineering and permits where the wall height calls for them
- Excavation and a compacted base built to carry the load
- Drain pipe, gravel backfill and proper weeping
- Geogrid reinforcement on taller and tiered walls
- Caps, steps and edging detailed to finish
- Backfill, grading and planting to tie it into the yard
Walls We’ve Built
Boulder, sandstone and block walls across the Wasatch Front — holding grade and making slopes usable.
Every Type of Wall We Build
Boulder is only one option. We build in stone, block, concrete, steel and timber — and whichever material you choose, the base, drainage and reinforcement behind it are built the same way.
Boulder & Natural Stone
Large set stone for mass and permanence, suited to Utah’s terrain and bigger grade changes.
Dry Stack Stone
Coursed stone laid without mortar, with the batter and cap detail that keep it hand-built.
Sandstone
Local sandstone in cut or natural courses — warm tone, and it weathers well here.
Belgard & Manufactured Block
Engineered block systems in a range of colours and textures, ideal for clean tiered walls.
Redi-Rock
Large precast block that builds tall, gravity-retained walls fast, with a natural stone face.
CMU & Cinder Block
Reinforced concrete masonry units, grouted and capped — structural and cost-effective.
Poured Concrete
Structural cement walls where load, height or a tight footprint call for it. Board-form or smooth finish.
MSE Walls
Mechanically stabilised earth — geogrid layered back into the soil so the mass does the retaining.
Corten Steel
Weathering steel that rusts to a stable patina. Thin footprint, modern line, no maintenance.
Steel Plate & Edging
Powder-coated or galvanised steel for low walls, planter edges and crisp grade changes.
Treated Lumber
Pressure-treated timber walls and terraces — quick to build and easy on a budget.
Terraced & Multi-Tier
Stepping a tall grade into two or three shorter walls, with planting on every bench.
Forty Years of Five-Star Work
Verified reviews from homeowners across the Wasatch Front, gathered from every platform where our clients have shared their experience.
From Slope to Structure
A wall is mostly the work you never see. Here’s how we approach it.
We walk the grade with you
We look at the slope, where water runs, and what you want the space above and below the wall to do.
We engineer it, then price it
Height, soil and load decide the build. You get the design, material options and a clear number — plus any permits the height requires.
We build from the base up
Excavation, compacted base, drainage, then coursing. The part you can’t see is the part that decides how long it lasts.
We finish and tie it in
Caps, steps, backfill, grading and planting, so the wall reads as part of the landscape rather than a repair.
A Promise We Stand Behind
A landscape is a big investment. Here’s what you can count on from the first visit to long after the last stone is set.
Licensed & Fully Insured
Complete liability coverage and documented work, so your property and your investment are protected.
One Team, Start to Finish
Design, hardscape, planting and irrigation are all handled in-house by our own crews — never subcontracted out.
We Stand Behind the Work
If something isn’t right, we make it right. And we’re still a phone call away long after the project is done.
