Owner-led retaining wall builds that hold your slope, stop erosion and turn steep ground into usable, level yard space.
Engineered block walls are our workhorse for terracing yards, holding driveways and creating clean, level patio space. Courses go in on a compacted base, pinned or locked together, with geogrid where the height calls for it. You get a crisp, finished line that suits newer homes and lakefront properties, plus plenty of color and cap options to match your hardscaping.
Nothing blends into a wooded or lakeside lot like natural stone. We set boulders individually, keying each one back into the slope so the wall works with gravity instead of fighting it. Boulder walls handle heavy grade changes well, need almost no upkeep, and look like they have always been part of the property.
Treated timber walls remain a solid, budget-friendly choice for garden terraces, side yards and shorter holds. We also do straight site work: grading and leveling to open up new usable space, reshaping ground so water runs away from your foundation, and drainage with clean backfill behind every wall we build.
Tell us the wet corner or the rough drive — estimates are free.
There are plenty of crews who will stack block for you. Fewer will dig the slope out properly, install the drainage you can't see, and compact every lift the way it should be done. We are a small, owner-led outfit and our reputation lives on walls that are still dead straight years from now, not on how many jobs we squeezed into a season.
Caleb, the owner, is on site for every project we take on. That means the person who quoted your wall is the person setting the base course and checking the drainage, not a salesperson who disappears after the deposit. Questions get answered on the spot, and the standard never slips because nobody is watching.
Most failed retaining walls in this area failed for one reason: water had nowhere to go. Behind every wall we build there is proper drain stone, filter fabric where needed, and a path for water to escape. It costs a little more up front and it is the single biggest reason our walls do not bulge, lean or blow out.
We bring the right equipment for the site so the work gets done properly and your lawn takes less of a beating. You get a clear estimate up front with no surprise change orders halfway through. If we spot something during excavation that changes the scope, you hear about it before we touch it, not on the final invoice.
Tell us about your slope, your erosion problem or the yard space you want back, and we will come look at it and price it honestly. Call Landex at 1-262-327-8847 today and get on the schedule.
