Without proper retaining walls, small issues become expensive emergencies.

When Do You Need a Retaining Wall?
If your property has slopes, erosion issues, or unusable hillside areas, a retaining wall is the solution. Beyond holding back soil, retaining walls create level areas for patios, gardens, and play spaces. They prevent erosion damage to foundations and driveways while adding architectural interest to your landscape.
Engineered for Denver's Conditions
We build retaining walls from segmental block, natural stone, and poured concrete — each suited to different applications and budgets. Every wall over 4 feet is engineered with proper drainage, geogrid reinforcement, and compacted backfill to meet structural requirements.
Retaining Wall FAQs
How tall can a retaining wall be without engineering?
In Denver, retaining walls under 4 feet generally don't require engineering or permits. Walls over 4 feet need stamped engineering plans and a building permit. We handle all engineering and permitting for larger walls.
What causes retaining walls to fail?
The most common causes are poor drainage behind the wall, inadequate base preparation, and missing or insufficient geogrid reinforcement. Water pressure is the number one enemy — that's why proper drainage is our top priority on every wall we build.
How long does retaining wall installation take?
A standard decorative retaining wall (30-50 linear feet, under 4 feet tall) typically takes 2-3 days. Larger structural walls requiring engineering and permits may take 1-2 weeks including the permitting process.
