When Retaining Walls Make The Most Sense For Your Space
Regardless of size, if your outdoor space has sloped grades or a lackluster entryway, retaining walls add depth and functionality to your landscape design.

Some of our past clients have come to us out of frustration maintaining a lawn that is hard to mow on a steep incline, or wanted to maximize a small space by adding perennials or raised garden beds. 

Just like any project, we start by visiting your space, hearing how you want to enjoy your time outside your home, and then crafting a hand rendered design customized to your space and needs. 

​We often work with individually selected river rock to create grand steps and entryways for rustic homes in the Front Range, and also have a wide variety of paver stones to choose from when creating retaining walls for modern and cottage homes, gardens, raised flower beds, and more.

I appreciated it when you shared that you are able to add depth and functionality to your landscape design with a retaining wall. My mother just mentioned the other day that she is thinking of improving the look of our garden as she wants it to look more appealing than our neighbor's. I will suggest to her looking for a reliable service that can help build a retaining wall for our yard.

I would like to find a team that makes retaining walls that will come out and see my house multiple times. That tells me they are serious and want to find a solution to my problem. Hopefully, I can just find a company like that in the tiny town I moved to.

It's odd, you think retaining walls would make a space more cramped but it usually does the exact opposite, thanks for the great article!

The other day my wife mentioned that she is looking to have retaining walls built for her gardening needs. I do agree that it is important for us to consider hiring a professional. I will definitely keep this information in mind for future references.

I want to make more space in my back yard, but there's an incline. It makes sense that I would want to get a nice retaining wall for this. That seems like a good way to ensure that that I can have more space in my back yard.

I found it interesting when you said that just like any project, we start by visiting your space, hearing how you want to enjoy your time outside your home, and then crafting a hand-rendered design customized to your space and needs. I want to protect our home with retaining walls for it to last forever. Thanks to this post, I have now an idea of how and where to find a retaining wall contractor.

Above ground, retaining walls are vertical, or near-vertical, structures designed to create level areas on sloping sites to maximise development space, Thank you for taking the time to write a great post!

My favorite part of this article is retaining walls gives depth and practicality to any landscape design, regardless of size, if your outdoor space has steep grades or a drab doorway. Someone recently told me about this and it is different from what I understand. Thanks for helping me understand retaining walls.

If your property needs a retaining wall, or if the one you have is failing, follow our guide on how to build a retaining wall or hire a pro.

It got me interested when you said that retaining walls can create raised flower beds. I guess I should look for experts on Monday morning who can install retaining walls in my backyard within two days. I am hoping to enhance the look of my garden before my family and friends come to visit next month.

Doing hardscape design is all about maximizing spaces while not compromising the overall look. Good job to the team.
