More than just decorative, a retaining wall is a vital structural element designed to prevent soil shifting between elevations and add dimension to your property. Proper planning and installation are crucial for effective soil retention.
Many properties are underutilized due to challenging slopes. With a retaining wall, you can eliminate steep, hard-to-maintain areas, stop erosion, and create attractive, functional planting beds, adding significant utility to your outdoor living space.
Steps built between different elevations can be crafted in a variety of styles using various materials, including stone, block, or lumber. Below, you will find the different types available

Steps
For an unparalleled luxurious appeal and incredible durability, natural stone steps are an ideal outdoor solution. Crafted from robust sandstone, limestone, or granite, these steps are inherently sturdy and reliable once installed, promising a lifetime of enjoyment.
Stocked in various lengths (4", 5", 6", 8") with custom sizes available, and typically measuring 16"-18" deep by 6"-7" high, natural steps age beautifully. While a slightly higher initial investment than concrete, their superior longevity and enduring elegance offer unmatched value.
