Walls are our bread & butter – we build 'em every single day.
We design + build structural retaining walls & freestanding seating walls.
Whether we're replacing an existing wall that's failing or installing a brand new wall, our team of hardscape professionals have the demonstrated experience to get a structurally-sound wall built the right way.
Hardscape installations come backed by our comprehensive warranty.

Our Pricing
How much will this cost?
It's our most frequently asked question.
Cost depends on many factors, including the following:
-
Equipment Access. Challenging access is one of the biggest factors to influence cost. Does access need to be had through a neighboring property? A fence panel or tree removed? Does no viable option exist to provide better access?
-
Complexity of Project Scope. Simple, straightforward projects are the most economical. Logistical and technical complexities can influence cost.
-
Materials Selected & Design. Customized variables and harder-to-source items, like bluestone wall stone and coping, are more expensive than something like standard limestone or wall block. A curved wall might require more saw cutting, adding to the total labor hours required and also the final cost.
Because of these factors (and more), it's challenging to provide exact pricing online before assessing a project, as each job is unique.
But, we know you're asking and you want answers.
The information below is a guideline to help gauge what a typical investment might look like.
Small Retaining Wall
$10,000 - $35,000
Structural, load-bearing walls made of natural stone or manufactured block. Hydrostatic pressure (drainage) management included for long-term stability.
Large Retaining Wall
$35,000 - $75,000+
Structural, load-bearing walls made of natural stone or manufactured block. Includes hydrostatic pressure (drainage) management and internal geo-grid reinforcement for long-term stability.
Engineering or architectural planning may be required for complex sites.
Small & Simple Seating Wall
$2,500 - $5,500
These freestanding walls are commonly placed around fire features and typically stand around 20 to 30" tall.
Smaller walls typically seat 2 to 4 people.
Large & Custom Seating Wall
$15,000 - $40,000
These walls might be freestanding or have an earth-retaining function.
They are commonly a two-tiered system with a back or windbreak section above the seat.
Walls with a custom masonry-applied stone veneer and custom-fabricated natural stone slabs will require a larger investment over pre-fabricated concrete block, for example.
