Retaining walls in Deephaven
Retaining Walls in Deephaven, MN
Walls that hold a slope, stop erosion and turn unusable grade into patio, lawn or planting space, built from segmental block, natural stone or boulders.
Retaining walls for Deephaven homes and businesses
Our landscape crews build across Hennepin County, and Deephaven projects start with a visit to the property so the design fits the grade, the drainage and how you use the yard. Retaining walls is one of the services we install most often.
A retaining wall holds back soil and rock, prevents erosion and supports a steep or vertical grade change. The payoff is usable space: a sloped backyard becomes a level patio, a terrace of planting beds, or a flat lawn. Walls also separate areas of a yard and give it focal points, and a well-built wall adds value to the property.
We build three kinds. Segmental block walls use interlocking concrete units, anchored into the earth, for a cost-effective, durable and flexible system that suits most residential sites. Natural stone walls are stacked for a more formal, traditional look. Boulder walls use large natural stone and rely on their mass; they are an affordable choice for sloping sites and lean toward function over polish.
We also provide retaining walls in Eden Prairie, Edina and Excelsior, so Deephaven customers are on a route, never a special trip.
Retaining walls in Deephaven
What is included
Compacted base, gravel backfill and drain tile behind the wall so water never builds up and pushes it over.
Block, natural stone or boulder, chosen for the height, the soil and the look you want.
Stairs, tiered walls and planting terraces built into the same structure.
Excess soil hauled away and the lawn restored where equipment ran.
How a wall project works
Walls are built spring through late fall. Taller walls, walls that carry a load such as a driveway, or walls near a property line may need engineering or a permit; we tell you at the estimate.
- We look at the slope, the drainage and what you want the space to become.
- You get an estimate by wall type, with a concept plan on larger projects.
- The crew excavates, builds the base and drainage, sets the wall and backfills, then restores the site.
Retaining walls in Deephaven: common questions
Do you offer retaining walls in Deephaven?
Yes. Deephaven is on the regular landscaping routes we run from our shop in Rogers, and retaining walls is priced from an estimate we email the same day you request it.
Why do retaining walls fail?
Almost always water. Soil behind a wall with no drainage gets heavy when it is wet and freezes in winter, and the wall leans. Every wall we build has gravel backfill and drainage behind it.
Block, stone or boulder?
Block gives the cleanest lines and the most design options at a good price. Natural stone is the premium look. Boulder walls are the economical choice for holding a slope where looks are secondary.
