Before a single block or boulder is laid, precise retaining wall measurements are the most critical step to guarantee a durable and safe structure. Without meticulous attention to these details, the wall could be at risk of retaining wall failurefrom shifting, leaning, or even collapsing. Improper measurements also compromise drainage solutions, allowing water to pool and damage your home’s foundation and landscaping.

Our commitment to this essential groundwork guarantees a wall that not only looks stunning but also protects your property for decades to come.

While the beautiful blocks, boulders or timbers are what you see, the solid base beneath is the single most critical component of a retaining wall installation. Without a meticulously prepared and compacted retaining wall foundation, the entire structure is at risk. Over time, a weak base will cause the wall to shift, lean, or even fail, leading to costly repairs and potential damage to your property, especially with Minnesota's challenging freeze-thaw cycles. Our team expertly prepares the base to guarantee the crucial structural integrity needed to withstand the immense pressure of the earth and water. This unseen groundwork provides a stable bed for your wall and ensures proper drainage. It's our commitment to this vital step that guarantees your long-lasting retaining wall will remain beautiful and secure for decades to come, giving you complete peace of mind.

While the design and foundation are vital, the correct retaining wall installation is the crucial step where a plan becomes a durable, long-lasting solution. Without meticulous expertise in laying the chosen material, a wall can quickly become unstable, leading to misaligned blocks, shifting timbers, or even complete retaining wall failure. Improper installation compromises the structural integrity needed to hold back immense pressure, leaving your property at risk. Our skilled crew expertly installs every block, boulder, or timber according to a precise plan, ensuring each piece is perfectly set and aligned. This careful process guarantees your new retaining wall will not only look stunning but will also withstand the test of time, solving your sloping yard solutions for decades. Our dedication to a flawless installation means your new wall will be a durable and beautiful addition to your home, giving you complete peace of mind.

A properly installed drain tile is the unseen hero of every successful retaining wall installation, serving as the most critical defense against future failure. Without it, water building up behind the wall creates immense hydrostatic pressure, which can cause the wall to lean, crack, and ultimately collapse. This pressure also compromises the wall’s structural integrity and can lead to water seeping through the front of the wall. Our team meticulously installs a retaining wall drain tile at the base of the wall to collect this water and redirect it away from the structure. This essential component relieves all pressure, ensuring the wall remains stable and secure for decades. It's our commitment to this vital, foundational step that guarantees your wall is not only beautiful but also engineered for long-term stability, protecting your investment for a lifetime.
