Retaining Walls

Retaining walls stabilize your landscape. They hold back soil on slopes, creating flat areas where there weren't before. This lets you build gardens or even level walking paths where the ground used to be uneven. These walls create level areas perfect for patios, fire pits, or even vegetable patches. A retaining wall might be the answer if your property has a slope that begs for usable space.

We can build sleek walls for a contemporary vibe or natural stone for a timeless touch. Our design expertise unlocks a world of styles to match your vision for your Sarasota, FL, property.

Materials We Use for Retaining Walls

We use various materials in our retaining walls, such as the following:

Concrete Masonry Units - CMUs are a budget-friendly, versatile option for retaining walls. Their inherent strength makes them perfect for substantial slopes. We don't just stop at basic gray! CMUs come pre-colored or can be stained to create a cohesive look that complements your property.

Brick - Brick walls exude timeless elegance and sophistication. The natural warmth of brick adds a touch of charm to any landscape. Our experts can create stunning patterns and designs with brick, adding a distinct visual character to your retaining wall. Brick's durability ensures your wall will stand firm for years to come.

Natural Stone - Natural stone is a breathtaking choice for a touch of the natural world. From the rugged beauty of granite to the earthy elegance of flagstone, natural stone offers a unique connection to the environment. These stones boast exceptional strength and weather resistance, making them a perfect long-term solution for your retaining wall. With natural stone, your wall becomes a seamless extension of your landscape.
