Retaining Walls
Retaining walls combine function and form, providing essential support for grade changes while adding structure and visual interest to the landscape.
Both Form and Function
Backyard Interest with a Purpose
These steps are installed into a curved retaining wall that is holding back a lot of soil and supporting a large level area. The steps themselves are part of the reinforcing structure and not just steps. We designed and installed these steps with block stacked per manufacturer standards with drainage rock behind. We used this approach to both provide access to the sloped yard and hold back the earth above. This wall is doing its job yet is also interesting to look at and allows for walkability
The Function Behind the Form
Designed to last
Integrity Landscapes builds unique and captivating retaining walls. We prefer designing curves rather than straight lines, varied heights rather that flat, and embellishments rather than plain. However, retaining walls need to be done right because they are often installed for non-aesthetic purposes: to keep soil around the house foundation, to control surface water runoff, and to stop erosion. Retaining walls have to hold their ground. Integrity Yard Care's installations follow and exceed industry standards and they put a lot of work into what goes behind the block so you have a safe and long-lasting wall. We can handle engineered block retaining walls to make sure there are no future issues and that walls pass inspections.
Many Different Kinds of walls
-
Stacked Stone Walls
Natural stone stacked without visible mortar for a timeless, handcrafted look. Great for character and blending into natural landscapes. -
Concrete Block Walls (Segmental Retaining Walls)
Engineered interlocking blocks designed for strength and longevity. Clean, consistent appearance and ideal for taller or structural walls. -
Boulder Walls
Large natural boulders create a bold, organic look with excellent durability. Perfect for slopes, natural settings, and erosion control.
