Why Choose Our Retaining Wall Services
At Whip It Lawns & Gardens, we know that a well-built retaining wall does more than just hold back soil — it transforms your yard, adds structure, and enhances both the safety and the value of your property. With over 20 years of landscaping experience, we bring the craftsmanship and reliability you need for a job done right.
Whether you’re dealing with a sloped block, soil erosion, or want to create level garden beds or terraced lawns, our retaining-wall solutions give you a functional and beautiful outdoor space.
Our Retaining Wall Services
We offer a comprehensive range of retaining wall services to suit different needs and budgets. Our options include:
- Concrete–block retaining walls — Great for durability, strength, and modern clean lines.
- Timber sleeper walls — Ideal for gently sloped gardens and cost-effective landscaping.
- Remove Existing & Replace — If an existing wall is leaning, cracking or failing, we can assess and fix the problem, including drainage solutions and soil re-grading.
What Makes a Good Retaining Wall?
When planning a retaining wall, several factors determine its longevity and performance. We pay attention to all of these to ensure a safe, durable result:
- Solid foundation and base preparation — A sturdy base (often compacted gravel or concrete footing) ensures long-term stability.
- Proper drainage — Water pressure behind a wall is a common cause of failure. We include drainage solutions (like gravel back-fill, pipes or engineered drainage where needed) to prevent soil saturation and pressure buildup.
- Soil and site evaluation — We assess soil type, slope, and drainage conditions to choose the right wall type and construction method.
- Quality materials & craftsmanship — we use high-quality products and proper construction techniques for longevity and aesthetics.
Why It Matters for Your Backyard
- Erosion Control & Safety: A proper retaining wall prevents soil erosion, landslides, and water pooling, especially on slopes or uneven terrain.
- More Usable Space: Turn sloped or awkward land into level terraces — perfect for lawns, gardens, patios or outdoor living areas.
- Improved Aesthetics: A well-designed wall complements your garden, landscaping and overall property appearance.
- Increased Property Value: Solid, attractive retaining walls add to the long-term value and curb appeal of your home.
