Retaining walls

Sloped lots are common across Raleigh, Cary, and Apex, and they cause real problems if the grading isn't handled correctly. Greenway Landscaping builds retaining walls that hold soil in place and turn wasted slope into usable yard.

A retaining wall has one job: keep soil, mulch beds, or a hillside from washing out during a heavy rain. We look at drainage first, including where water is coming from and where it needs to go, before we ever set a block. That planning is what separates a wall that lasts from one that bows or fails in a few seasons.

Once the engineering side is handled, we focus on how the wall looks and how it fits the rest of your landscape. Retaining walls can create flat space for a patio, a planting bed, or just a cleaner line along a slope, and they add a finished, built-in look that raises curb appeal. We size and place each wall for the specific grade of your property rather than using a one size fits all approach.

• Drainage assessment before wall construction begins
• Grading work to manage water flow and erosion
• Block and material options suited to your yard
• Added usable space for planting, mulch beds, or seating
