For Strong, Sound Retaining Walls
Oregon Calls Us
Trusted Across Oregon for Solid Retaining Wall Projects
Installing a retaining wall enhances curb appeal and enhances your property’s functionality.
The most basic use for a retaining wall is to prevent soil from moving. But they can also be used as landscape design features to create flower gardens or more usable space on your property.
In the right hands, retaining walls are far more than a few concrete blocks. We’ll build a cost-effective, stylish solution that protects and improves your property.
Retaining Walls Add Structure, Space, and Style
If your landscape has sharp gradient changes, a retaining wall is a worthwhile feature. It provides structural support to large masses of soil, and a beautifully designed retaining wall can be an attractive focal point for your yard.
Retaining walls also add:
- Structural stability
- Soil erosion prevention
- Flood control
- Additional room in your yard
- Landscape design interest and appeal
Add value to your outdoor space and protect it from landslides and erosion with a professionally designed and built retaining wall.

Frequently asked questions about Retaining Walls
- Can you build a wall on a small budget?
Much of your retaining wall costs are determined by the engineering required. If your walls need extra engineering to make it safe, you might need extra materials to build it – and that will make your retaining wall costs higher.
But, every wall is different. To get an accurate estimate for your own site and slope, request a free consultation.
- How do you ensure retaining walls are safe?
Retaining walls can look attractive, but we never lose sight of their primary function – holding tons of earth at bay so you can enjoy your backyard beside it. We’ve built a respected name in the industry because our retaining walls are safe and solid.
They’re constructed with cinder blocks, reinforced with steel rebar, or built with interlocking concrete blocks for ultimate strength – while you relax in backyard landscape design splendor.
- What kind of materials do you use to create an attractive retaining wall?
We build retaining walls for strength and durability, but we know they need to be attractive, too. Our designs include aesthetic elements – like finishes in stone or pavers around the foundation of the wall – so your wall sits beautifully within your yard’s landscaping.
- Is a retaining wall a necessity on a sharp slope?
Not every slope needs a retaining wall, but we find that they’re never a bad idea, either. Even if the slope of your yard doesn’t threaten erosion, it likely makes a large part of your yard unusable. You can reclaim a larger part of your site as usable yard space by creating a retaining wall (or a series of tiered walls), turning a steep, dangerous slope into an exciting landscape design feature.
