Retaining Wall Installation in Redding, CA
Block retaining walls that hold a slope, stop erosion and turn unusable ground into level yard.
What we do
Turn a slope into space you can use.
A retaining wall holds back soil where the ground changes height. Done well, it also gives you something you did not have before: a level lawn, a planting terrace or a patio.
We build block retaining walls and large-block walls, on their own or as part of a bigger project with steps, patios, drainage and planting.
- Block and large-block retaining walls
- Walls for sloped yards and erosion control
- Raised planter and garden walls
- Curved walls, block steps and wall caps
How we build them
The water behind the wall matters as much as the face.
Most of the work in a retaining wall is the part you never see. We plan where the water behind and around the wall will go. We look at the slope, the weight of soil the wall has to hold and how you will use the space next to it.
That planning is what keeps a wall where we put it.
- Slope, layout and drainage reviewed before we build
- Block chosen to suit the grade and the look you want
- Built to tie into patios, steps and planting

Questions
Retaining Walls: common questions.
How do I know if my property needs a retaining wall?
Look for a slope you cannot use, soil washing downhill, or ground that sits at awkward heights. A wall holds the soil in place and gives you level space to work with.
Can a retaining wall help with erosion?
Yes. Walls are often built to hold soil that runoff keeps moving. The right design depends on the slope, how the area drains and what you use it for.
What do you build retaining walls from?
Mostly concrete retaining wall block, including large block for bigger walls. It is durable, it holds its shape and it gives a clean finished face.
Can a retaining wall be part of a larger project?
Yes, and it often is. Walls are commonly built together with patios, walkways, stairs, drainage work and planting.
What happens during a retaining wall project?
We walk the site and agree what the wall is for. Then we plan it, prepare the ground, build the wall and go over the finished work with you.
