Retaining walls serve a critical function in many landscapes — controlling erosion, managing grade changes, and creating usable flat areas on sloped properties. At PGS Landscape, we build retaining walls that are both structurally sound and visually appealing.
Why You May Need a Retaining Wall
- Sloped yard — Create flat, usable outdoor spaces on a hillside
- Erosion control — Prevent soil from washing away during rain
- Raised planters — Define garden beds and planting areas
- Terracing — Create multiple levels for visual interest
- Drainage management — Direct water flow away from structures
Materials We Use
PGS builds retaining walls using a variety of materials to match your landscape style and budget:
- Natural stone — Timeless look that blends with the natural environment
- Concrete block — Durable and versatile
- Boulders — Large boulders create dramatic, natural-looking walls
- Timber — Warm, organic aesthetic for garden areas
- Poured concrete — Maximum strength for taller walls
