Retaining Walls

Vision Lawn & Landscape installs a wide variety of wall materials from timber wall, segmental walls, natural stone, dry stack, and manufactured stone. If you want a small garden wall or a large segmental wall we can accomplish both. If you have a pre-existing failing wall we will investigate what the cause was and give you different options. Vision Lawn & Landscape looks forward to serving your retaining wall needs.
Retaining walls serve both practical and aesthetic purposes in Catlett landscapes. Our skilled team at Vision Lawn and Landscape installs customized retaining walls that align with the architecture and style of your property. Beyond just holding back the soil, our walls create usable spaces, define areas, and enhance visual interest.
Types of Retaining Walls to Match Your Needs
We offer several types of retaining walls to suit your functional requirements and design preferences:
- Stacked stone walls using local granite or other natural stones for a classic, organic style.
- Brick walls in varied colors and patterns for a more formal, elegant look.
- Block walls from concrete, which can be structural, freestanding, or gravity walls.
- Timber walls using interlocked landscape ties made of durable wood like cedar.
- Green walls with a face of greenery rather than hard building materials.
We tailor the height, length, layout, materials, and installation method to your landscape site, soil conditions, and aesthetic goals. We determine the most appropriate type of wall for your unique needs and ensure perfect installation.
Where We Can Install Retaining Walls
Some common ways we utilize retaining walls on local properties include:
- Holding back sloped yards along property lines or a driveway
- Creating raised planter beds for flowers, shrubs, trees, and vegetable gardens
- Building terraces to expand usable space in hilly backyards
- Bordering and defining distinct zones in an outdoor living space
- Constructing seating areas around a fire pit or water feature
- Framing focal points like fountains, sculptures, or artwork
- Complementing stairs, pathways, and ramps in the landscape
- Adding modern charm around patios, pools, and entertaining areas
Our walls effectively hold dirt and stones while also serving as beautiful garden architecture, creating a stunning outdoor space.
Long Lasting Retaining Walls
Our professional masons hold extensive training and experience constructing high-quality retaining walls. We engineer and build each wall to strict standards for optimal durability and strength. We use structurally sound footings, compacted gravel backfills, proper drainage, and mortar. Your wall is hand-crafted on-site using expert techniques perfected over years in the trade. Maintenance is provided to keep walls functioning correctly for decades of use.
