Retaining & Seating Walls

At Stonewell Outdoor Design, we build retaining and seating walls that do more than hold back soil. They solve grading problems, create usable space, add built-in seating, and give your outdoor space a clean, finished look that lasts.

Wall Types We Design and Build

• Segmental block retaining walls — durable interlocking systems for most residential applications

• Natural stone walls — organic texture that blends with gardens and high-end landscape designs

• Decorative seating walls — built to complement patios, fire pits, and entertaining areas

• Garden and planter walls — lower walls that edge beds and add visual depth

• Tiered retaining walls — the right solution for steeper slopes where one tall wall is not practical

How We Build Retaining Walls the Right Way

Good wall construction starts below grade. We excavate, install a compacted base, and address drainage behind the wall. These are the details that prevent leaning, cracking, and premature failure. A typical retaining wall project includes:

• Site layout and grading

• Excavation for the wall base

• Compacted aggregate base installation

• Wall block or stone placement

• Drainage stone and drain pipe behind the wall

• Geogrid reinforcement when needed

• Backfilling and compaction in lifts

• Finish grading and cleanup
