What we build
Retaining Walls in Salt Lake City
Segmental Block WallsThe most popular residential choice in Utah — interlocking block systems that flex with the ground, no mortar required.
Natural Stone WallsHand-set natural stone that delivers a timeless look and blends with Utah’s landscape.
Timber WallsA cost-effective fix for moderate grade changes and garden borders, using ground-rated pressure-treated timber.
Gravity vs. Reinforced WallsShort walls rely on their own weight; taller walls need geogrid reinforcement, engineered backfill, and drainage. We build the right one.
Decorative & Garden WallsNot every wall holds back a hillside. Decorative walls define beds, border patios, and add dimension to flat yards.
Boulder WallsBoulder walls handle serious grade changes with a natural, rugged look that suits Utah’s mountain-valley properties.
A failing wall had been built with no real base — it was only a matter of time before it bulged and gave way.
Our solution
We demoed it completely and rebuilt with a proper base, drainage behind the wall, and hand-set natural stone.
The results
✓A structurally sound wall built to last decades
✓Drainage designed in behind the wall
✓Natural stone that lifts the whole yard

FAQs on retaining walls in Utah
How much does a retaining wall cost in Utah?
It depends on height, length, material, and how much drainage and base work the site needs. We assess the slope and soil and give you a clear, itemized quote.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Salt Lake County?
Often, once a wall passes a certain height (commonly around four feet) or retains a surcharge. We’ll tell you what your project needs and build it to code.
How tall can a wall be without an engineer?
Shorter walls can usually be built without a stamped design, but taller or load-bearing walls need engineering. We’ll flag where your project falls and handle it properly.
What’s the best retaining wall material for Utah?
It depends on the job — segmental block is the versatile workhorse, natural stone and boulders look stunning, and timber is budget-friendly for low walls. We’ll match material to your site.
How long does retaining wall installation take?
Most residential walls go in within several days to a couple of weeks depending on size, access, and drainage work. We give you a realistic timeline up front.
