Types of Retaining Walls We Build
We offer a variety of retaining wall styles, materials, and designs to match your property and preferences.
Concrete Block Walls
Strong, versatile, and highly customizable — concrete blocks are ideal for both structural and decorative applications. Choose from smooth, split-face, or textured finishes.
Natural Stone Walls
Bring organic beauty and a timeless look to your landscape. Stone retaining walls are perfect for rustic, Mediterranean, or luxury garden aesthetics.
Timber Walls
Great for lower-height installations or garden beds. Wood offers a warm, natural feel, though it requires more maintenance than concrete or stone.
Poured Concrete Walls
Extremely strong and clean-lined — ideal for modern yards or heavy-duty needs. These walls can be formed to custom shapes and finished with stains or textures.
Garden & Border Walls
Not all retaining walls need to be massive. We also build smaller landscape walls that edge patios, flower beds, or pathways for added charm and definition.

What Is a Retaining Wall?
A retaining wall is a structural element designed to hold back soil, manage elevation changes, and improve land usability. These walls are commonly used to:
✔️ Prevent soil erosion
✔️ Manage water runoff
✔️ Support slopes or hillsides
✔️ Create level garden areas or terraces
✔️ Add definition and dimension to landscaping
Whether you’re building a tiered garden, leveling your backyard, or protecting your home from water damage, a retaining wall can provide both practical solutions and aesthetic enhancements.

Our Process
At GDJ Landscaping, we follow a proven, professional process for every retaining wall project:
Site Assessment & Planning
We inspect the area to determine slope, soil conditions, drainage, and wall height — ensuring your design meets both aesthetic goals and structural needs.
Design & Material Selection
Choose from a wide range of finishes and layouts. We’ll help you pick the right materials for your style and budget, while ensuring code compliance.
Excavation & Base Prep
A solid foundation is key. We dig and compact a gravel base layer to ensure long-term stability.
Wall Construction
Our skilled crew installs each layer with precision, including proper backfill and drainage components to prevent shifting or water damage.
Final Inspection & Clean-Up
We make sure your wall is perfectly level, secure, and finished to your satisfaction before wrapping up.
