Retaining Walls & Stonework
Middle Tennessee’s rolling terrain is beautiful and challenging. Retaining walls, steps and terraces turn sloped yards into level patios, gardens and play areas.

Retaining Walls & Stonework, Made for Your Yard
Many Nashville-area yards slope, and a good retaining wall does more than hold soil: it creates level spaces for patios, kitchens and lawns, directs water and adds structure to the landscape.
We build retaining walls and stonework in natural stone, segmental block and brick, with proper drainage behind the wall and a base built for the load. Taller or more demanding walls may need engineering, and we tell you when that is the case.

Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Drainage behind a wall, such as gravel backfill and a drain pipe, is essential to keep water pressure from building up. We plan it for every wall.
Do I need an engineer?
Taller walls and walls that support structures or heavy loads may need engineering, and local requirements vary. We tell you what your wall needs.
What is the best wall material?
Natural stone, block and brick are all good choices. We will recommend one based on your site, style and budget.
