The Rock Guys of Washtenaw build retaining walls that do exactly what they're supposed to: hold ground, manage water, and look like they were always supposed to be there. We engineer every wall for your specific site conditions: slope, soil type, drainage, and load.
Whether you need a single-course garden border or a multi-tier engineered system to reclaim a sloped yard, we handle the design, materials, and installation with the same hands-on crew from start to finish. No subcontractors. No shortcuts.
Walls built for strength, drainage, and longevity.
A retaining wall is only as good as what's underneath it. We assess your site's grade, soil, and drainage before a single block is set. Because a wall that shifts, cracks, or fails in year two isn't a wall worth building.
- Dry-stacked and mortared stone walls
- Interlocking concrete block systems
- Boulder and natural stone walls
- Structural retaining with drainage solutions
Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions about our retaining wall services. From materials and timelines to cost and drainage.
If you have a sloped yard losing soil, a hillside that erodes after rain, or a grade change near your home's foundation, you likely need a retaining wall. We'll assess your site for free and give you an honest answer on whether one is right for your situation.
We work with interlocking concrete block, natural stone, boulders, and dry-stacked fieldstone depending on your budget, aesthetic, and structural requirements. We'll recommend the best option for your specific site during the estimate.
Cost depends on height, length, material choice, and site conditions like access and drainage requirements. Most residential retaining walls run $3,000–$15,000. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Yes. Every retaining wall we build includes proper drainage planning — gravel backfill, drainage pipe where needed, and appropriate weep holes or outlets. A wall without drainage is a wall waiting to fail.
Most residential retaining wall projects are completed in 2 to 4 days. Larger multi-tier systems may run a full week. We'll give you a firm timeline before we start and stick to it.
