Retaining Wall Projects
Retaining Walls Are Structural Systems, Not Just Stacked Blocks
A retaining wall requires proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage to perform long-term. At Up North Scapes, we build walls designed to hold, manage water, and maintain their integrity through New Hampshire's demanding seasonal conditions.
Full Excavation to Proper Depth
We don't guess. We excavate to the depth the project demands.
Compacted Structural Gravel Base
A solid, compacted base that provides real long-term stability.
Drainage Stone + Pipe Behind Wall
Water has an exit path. Hydrostatic pressure is eliminated.
Reinforcement Where Required
Geogrid and correct batter applied based on wall height and load.

Our Installation Process
Photographs from one job, start to finish. The stone and pipe behind the wall in step two is the part nobody sees and the part that decides whether the wall is still straight in ten years.
Retaining Wall Questions
How do I know if I need a retaining wall?
If soil slopes toward your house, beds keep washing out, or a grade change is eating up usable yard, a wall usually solves it. We look at the grade and tell you straight whether you need one.
What makes a retaining wall last?
Base preparation and drainage. Most walls fail because of water pressure building up behind them. We build with a compacted base, proper backfill, and drainage designed in from the start.
Can a retaining wall look good too?
Yes, structural does not mean plain. We build walls that hold the grade and fit the look of your property, from clean block systems to natural stone.
How do I get a price for a wall?
