How We Build

A straight wall starts below the ground

Most walls that lean, bulge or crack fail because of what happened underneath: a thin base, no drainage, or no reinforcement. We build every wall from the bottom up so it stays straight through Michigan freeze and thaw.

Dug and compacted base: excavated below grade and packed in layers so the wall can’t settle.
Drainage behind the wall: clean stone and perforated pipe so water can’t build pressure.
Reinforced when tall: geogrid tied back into the hillside on taller walls.
Engineered when required: engineered plans and permits handled for walls that need them.

Wall Types

The right wall for the job

Segmental block walls

Interlocking block in a range of colors and textures. Strong, clean-looking, and our most common choice for tall walls and terraces.

Natural stone & boulder walls

Large boulders or stacked stone for a natural look on hillsides, wooded lots and garden slopes.

Timber walls

A cost-effective option for long, lower slopes and multi-unit properties.

Commercial walls

Walls at stormwater ponds, parking areas, dumpster pads and building fronts, built to plan and on schedule.

Questions

Retaining wall FAQ

Do I need a permit or an engineer?

Taller walls, and walls holding up driveways, structures or steep slopes, often need engineered plans and a permit. Requirements vary by city, so we’ll tell you what applies to your project and handle the paperwork.

Why is my existing wall leaning?

Usually water pressure behind the wall, a base that settled, or no reinforcement on a tall wall. We can look at it and tell you whether it can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt.

How long does a wall take to build?

It depends on height, length and access. You’ll get a timeline with your written quote.

When is the best time to build?

Spring through late fall, whenever the ground isn’t frozen. Booking early gets you a better spot on the schedule.
