FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you have a large slope in your yard, it probably means you have a lot of unusable space. Adding one or more retaining walls allows you to level off areas of the yard, in order to make them more functional. It also adds to curb appeal and overall enjoyment of your outdoor space.

Aside from the beauty of stone, it also has the weight to hold back the earth you are retaining.  We get plenty of work replacing failed concrete block walls. A well-built stone wall is like original art piece, nobody else will ever have the same wall as you.
