Retaining & Sleeper Walls
Engineered block and sleeper walls with the drainage that keeps them standing
A premium take on retaining & sleeper walls
Retaining walls fail for one reason far more often than any other: water. Saturated backfill pushes with enormous force, and a wall built without drainage rock, filter fabric, and a functioning drain line will lean or blow out no matter how good the block looks. We build walls with a compacted leveling pad, proper base course burial, clean angular backfill, geogrid where the height calls for it, and a drain that actually goes somewhere. Block, boulder, and timber sleeper walls, for terracing a hillside or squaring up a usable yard.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Compacted leveling pad and buried base course
- Free-draining angular backfill with filter fabric
- Perforated drain line daylighted to a real outlet
- Geogrid reinforcement on taller and surcharged walls
- Segmental block, natural boulder, and timber sleeper walls
- Terracing, seat walls, and planter walls to match the hardscape
