The right retaining wall can transform a difficult slope into a beautiful garden, create usable outdoor space, define planting beds, control erosion, and add architectural interest to your landscape.

At Peterson’s Landscape, we design and build retaining walls that are both functional and beautiful. We consider the slope, drainage, soil, surrounding landscape, and overall design of your property to create a retaining wall that looks like it belongs there.

With a wide variety of colors, textures, materials, patterns, and design options, your retaining wall can become an attractive feature rather than simply a necessity.

And with additions such as landscape lighting, planters, waterfalls, steps, and planting, we can turn an ordinary retaining wall into a true focal point.

Your Landscape Should Be Uniquely Yours.

Let Peterson’s Landscape create a retaining wall that adds structure, beauty, and value to your outdoor space.

Built for Beauty. Engineered for Stability.

A beautiful retaining wall starts with proper construction.

Every property is different, which is why Peterson’s Landscape pays close attention to the details that determine how well a retaining wall performs over time.

Proper Base Preparation

The foundation is one of the most important parts of any retaining wall installation.

We prepare the base with appropriate aggregate material, thickness, grading, and compaction. The first course of block is then carefully positioned and leveled to establish a stable foundation for the wall.

Precision at the beginning creates stability throughout the entire wall.

Carefully Constructed Rows

Each additional course is installed with attention to alignment, level, drainage, and structural stability.

We:

Remove debris before installing each additional row.
Stagger joints between courses for increased stability.
Use the manufacturer's interlocking system when applicable.
Follow the designed setback of the wall system.
Make precise cuts when constructing curves and custom shapes.
Pay close attention to transitions, corners, steps, and other design details.

The result is a wall that is designed to look good from every angle—not simply a wall that gets the job done.

Reinforcement for Larger Walls

Some retaining wall projects require additional reinforcement depending on the wall's height, soil conditions, loading, slope, and design.

Geogrid reinforcement can be incorporated into the wall system to increase stability and help tie the wall into the surrounding soil.

When reinforcement is appropriate, the geogrid is installed according to the wall system's design requirements and manufacturer's specifications.

For larger or more complex retaining walls, engineering may also be required. Peterson's Landscape can help identify when a project requires additional design or engineering considerations.

Drainage Is Critical

Water is one of the biggest threats to retaining wall performance.

That's why proper drainage is an important part of our installation process.

Depending on the project, we may incorporate:

Clean drainage aggregate behind the wall
Perforated drainage pipe
Proper drainage outlets
Appropriate backfill material
Compacted backfill installed progressively as the wall is constructed

Backfill is installed as the wall progresses rather than waiting until the wall is completely built.

The goal is simple: give water a place to go instead of allowing hydrostatic pressure to build behind the wall.

Finish Your Wall With the Right Details

The top of a retaining wall is an opportunity to add another layer of design.

Choose from a variety of caps and coping options to create the finished appearance you want.

Then take your project even further with:

💡 Landscape Lighting

Highlight the wall, planting beds, steps, and architectural details after sunset.

🌿 Planters & Planting

Soften hardscape edges with colorful flowers, shrubs, ornamental grasses, or other landscape plants.

💧 Water Features

Incorporate a waterfall or other water feature to create movement, sound, and visual interest.

🪨 Custom Curves & Designs

Create flowing curves, terraces, steps, and other features that make the wall part of the overall landscape design.

Retaining Walls Can Transform Your Landscape

A retaining wall can solve a problem while creating an opportunity.

Instead of looking at a steep slope, drainage challenge, or unusable portion of your property, imagine:

A terraced garden.

A level outdoor living area.

A beautiful planting bed.

A dramatic landscape focal point.

A safer, more functional yard.

That's where thoughtful landscape design makes the difference.

At Peterson's Landscape, we look at the entire property—not just the wall—to create a solution that works with your home's architecture and surrounding landscape.
