Professional Retaining Wall Construction in Asheville, NC

Retaining walls are basically the unsung heroes of Asheville, North Carolina homes. In the mountainous terrain, where steep slopes are everywhere, these walls step in like a trusty sidekick to save the day. Without them, soil erosion could wreak havoc, sending dirt sliding where it shouldn't and putting your home's foundation at risk—especially during those heavy rains or snowmelt seasons. Think of them as your home's bodyguards, keeping the earth in check and everything in place. Plus, they’re not just practical—they’re a solid (pun intended) solution for a range of issues!

  • Prevents Erosion: stabilizes slopes and prevents soil from washing away  
  • Prevents Landslides: provides structural support to areas prone to landslides 
  • Prevents Sinkholes: Redistributes water and limits pooling
  • Runoff: Redirects water away preventing property damage
  • Aesthetics: enhances beauty and appeal of your property
  • Creates Usable Space: creates space for entertainment and planting
  • Structure Support: provides necessary support to keep your home safe
  •  Property Value: Adds property value to your WNC home

Ryan did an amazing job. We had tons of damage due to Hurricane Helene. Our yard was a mess and we were scared of losing our home. They went over and beyond and communicated with us along the way. I couldn't be happier and I have recommend this company to my friends and family.

Jenny M., Asheville

I was heartbroken when I called Ryan. My retaining wall I had build just a few years earlier was failing. Ryan and his team were able to save the retaining wall and fixed what the last contractor didn't do correctly. Be careful who you hire! Hands down I would recommend Ryan and his team. Thank you!

Josh S., Asheville

I hired Ryan and his team a few years ago to create an patio for my mountain home. He is now doing more work on my property and adding a new deck. It's always been a pleasure working with him. Highly recommend.

We can help you determine if you're wall is covered, give us a call. 

How do I maintain a retaining wall?

Regular inspections are crucial for detecting and addressing signs of damage or erosion early. Proper maintenance includes cleaning and repointing masonry walls, replacing damaged blocks or timber, and managing surrounding vegetation to protect the integrity of the structure.

What are the signs of a failing retaining wall?

A failing retaining wall often shows warning signs such as leaning, bulging, cracking, or shifting. Additional indicators may include soil erosion or settlement occurring either behind or in front of the wall.

How long does a retaining wall take to build?

The duration of a project varies based on its size and complexity. Smaller projects can typically be finished in just a few days, while larger, more intricate undertakings may require several weeks to complete. External factors, such as weather conditions, can also influence the overall timeline.
