When it comes to shaping your outdoor space—whether you’re managing slopes, controlling erosion, or creating usable areas—a retaining wall is more than just a practical necessity. A well-built, custom retaining wall brings structure, durability, and even aesthetic appeal to both residential and commercial properties. At Decker’s Land Solutions, we specialize in designing and constructing retaining walls tailored to your site’s specific conditions, functional requirements, and visual goals.
Why Retaining Walls Matter
Retaining walls serve a fundamental purpose: they hold back soil and prevent erosion in areas with significant grade changes. But beyond that, they offer a unique opportunity to blend engineering with design. A thoughtfully constructed wall can:
- Support sloped or uneven land
- Create level surfaces for patios, driveways, or parking areas
- Prevent water damage and soil movement
- Define garden beds or outdoor living spaces
- Add visual interest and texture to your landscape
Whether you’re building a hillside patio, reinforcing a commercial access road, or just trying to reclaim space on a steep backyard, a custom-built retaining wall is often the key to a successful solution.
Customization Starts With Site Conditions
No two properties are exactly alike, which is why we take a custom approach to every retaining wall we build. At Decker’s, the process starts with a site assessment. We evaluate:
- Soil type and drainage
- Slope angle and grade variation
- Water flow patterns
- Load-bearing needs
- Aesthetic preferences and usage plans
For commercial sites, we also review local building codes and engineer solutions that comply with structural standards and safety regulations. Whether it’s a low garden wall or a multi-tiered commercial-grade system, every wall we install is built for longevity and stability.
Materials That Match Your Vision
A big part of customization is material selection. At Decker’s Land Solutions, we offer a range of options to suit your design style and project scale:
🧱 Segmental Block Retaining Walls
These modular, interlocking blocks are strong, versatile, and available in various colors and textures. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, they’re one of the most popular choices for functional and decorative retaining systems.
🪨 Natural Stone Walls
If you’re going for a rustic or high-end look, natural stone provides a timeless aesthetic. We source and stack stone carefully to create walls that blend organically into your landscape.
🧩 Poured Concrete & Concrete Panels
For large-scale or high-load applications, poured concrete offers maximum strength and flexibility. Concrete panel systems are also used for industrial or municipal retaining wall applications.
We’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each material and help you choose the right fit for your property, budget, and style.
Built for Function—And Appearance
While retaining walls serve a structural purpose, they also dramatically affect your landscape’s appearance. That’s why we focus on building walls that:
- Complement your property’s layout and architecture
- Incorporate curves, corners, or steps as needed
- Blend with other hardscape features like patios or pathways
- Use finishes and caps that create a polished look
We don’t just build walls—we craft usable outdoor environments. For commercial clients, that might mean integrating walls into entryways or walkways. For homeowners, it might mean leveling out a yard to create space for a firepit or seating area.
We Handle Drainage the Right Way
A retaining wall is only as strong as its foundation—and drainage is key. Without proper drainage, water pressure can build up behind the wall, causing cracks, bulging, or failure over time. That’s why every retaining wall we install includes:
- Drainage gravel backfill
- Filter fabric to separate soil
- Perforated drain pipes (French drains) as needed
- Weep holes or outlet systems
We make sure your wall stays dry, stable, and structurally sound for years to come.
