Retaining walls

Retaining walls are named in the homepage copy and in the terms of service, next to fences, decks, and patio covers. They hold grade so the yard, the walk, and the fence have something level to sit on.

What we can show is specific. Project photos include a dark-stained wood privacy fence on a block retaining wall in Vancouver, and a cedar fence on a block wall beside a concrete walk. The landscaping materials list also includes basalt, granite, and moss rock boulders for edges and terraces.

Wall work tied to the rest of the yard

Block walls

Segmental block walls, including the ones that carry a wood fence on top. The fence posts are not stabbed into the face of the wall as an afterthought. The photo in Vancouver is the pattern.

Boulder edges

Local basalt, granite, and moss rock for a softer edge and for short terraces. These are landscape walls, not a claim about a tall engineered concrete wall.

With drainage

A wall that holds water will move. Grading and rock drainage are part of the landscaping service, and they belong with the wall, not after it fails.

Questions

Do you publish wall heights or engineering limits?

No. The site does not state a maximum height, a geogrid spec, or an engineer of record. If your city requires engineering, we will say so when we see the slope. We will not invent a height limit here.
