A retaining wall should do more than hold back soil. It should manage elevation changes, reclaim usable space, work with the drainage of the property and complement the overall landscape.
A lasting retaining wall depends on every part of the system working together:
- Proper retaining wall system selection
- Stone selection suited to the property
- Thoughtful placement and proportion
- Careful base preparation
- Effective drainage and grading
- Reinforcement where required
- Experienced craftsmanship
- Seamless integration with the surrounding landscape
At Scenic Stone, we consider what is below, behind and around every retaining wall we build. The result is a structure that performs as beautifully as it looks and is built to last.
The strength of a retaining wall begins below and behind the stone. A properly prepared base creates stability, while clear stone, geotextile, grading and drainage help manage water and protect the wall over time.
Every element is selected for the property and installed with purpose. Where required, reinforcement is incorporated into the retaining wall system to respond to the soil, slope and elevation of the site.
The visible stone is chosen with the same level of care. Whether the design calls for Armour Stone with clean, consistent lines or a more rustic natural finish, placement and proportion allow the wall to feel intentional and connected to the surrounding landscape.
It is the work you may never see, combined with the craftsmanship you immediately notice, that defines the Scenic Stone standard.
