Retaining & Block Walls

Retaining and privacy walls built to handle sloped Dallas lots.

Retaining walls, privacy walls, and garden borders show up across both older and newer Dallas neighborhoods — anywhere a lot has grade change, a need for separation from a neighbor, or a spot that erodes after heavy rain. Done right, a CMU block wall solves all three at once and lasts for decades.

We build block walls with proper engineering for the wall height and soil load involved, correct footing depth, and drainage behind the wall so water pressure doesn't build up and push it out of alignment over time. That last part is where a lot of DIY and lower-quality retaining walls fail in North Texas clay soil.

Whether you need a low garden wall, a full retaining wall on a sloped backyard near White Rock Lake, or a privacy wall along a property line, we handle the design, any required permitting, and the full construction from footing to cap.

Our Process

How It Works

01

Engineering / Permits

We assess wall height, soil load, and drainage needs, and handle permitting where required by the City of Dallas.

02

Excavation & Footing

A proper footing is excavated and poured to support the wall and prevent shifting over time.

03

Block Laying

CMU block is laid course by course, reinforced and grouted according to the engineered plan.

04

Cap & Finish

A capstone finishes the top of the wall, with decorative options available for visible walls.

05

Drainage

Drainage gravel and piping are installed behind retaining walls to relieve water pressure.
