We had a retaining wall installed to push our hill back and expand our backyard. Derek’s team are clear perfectionists and take pride in their work.

He also was able to utilize the boulders that were here to create a retaining wall that will blend with the landscape as we continue to add more plants.

Steep Yards

From a Failed Wall to Flat Ground

A wall that leans or bulges usually comes down and gets rebuilt on a proper base with drainage behind it. Two shorter walls stepped back from each other are a common answer on a tall grade.

Common Questions

Questions We Hear From Homeowners

Our yard is steep. Can a retaining wall give us flat space?

Yes, a wall set into the slope holds the soil back and leaves level ground above or below it for a lawn, a patio or a garden.

What keeps a wall from bulging over time?

Dealing with water. A wall needs clean stone behind it and a way for water to get out at the bottom.

Can steps go through the wall?

Yes, steps can be built into a new wall so you walk straight from the lower yard to the upper one.

Do you build patios in Nottingham?

Yes, you can see examples on our patio installation in Nottingham.
