Types of Retaining Walls We Build
Not all retaining walls are created equal. The style you choose will depend on your property layout, your purpose, and your style. We construct all types of walls utilizing quality materials for your application and budget. We can be helpful, whether something strong and simple or with more character.
Concrete Block Retaining Walls: Concrete blocks are one of the most common types of retaining walls. They are strong, durable, and easy to install. They are great for larger functional walls, holding back heavy soil, or creating level areas. As experienced retaining wall builders, we consider concrete block masonry the top of the line, and our walls will be built to withstand the test of time.
Stone Retaining Walls: If you want a more natural look, stone is the answer regarding aesthetics. Stone is easily integrated into landscaping and works well with formal and rustic designs. Additionally, stone walls will hold up just as well and provide good drainage. We specialize in custom work and stone retaining wall repairs, ensuring your wall looks good and is functional.
Brick Retaining Walls: You can’t go wrong with brick walls; they offer a stunning, timeless appearance. Brick walls will most likely be seen in front yards, garden beds, or outdoor living spaces where appearance is just as important as function. We use quality brick masonry and construction methods to provide our customers with equally beautiful and strong walls.
Lynnwood Decorative Walls
Functional Walls
Structural walls are meant to hold back soil, level sloped areas, and prohibit erosion. You generally see these types of walls along a driveway, sidewalk, or sloping yard where additional support is needed. These walls are a vital component of cutting-edge masonry construction, helping to keep outdoor living spaces safe and usable.
Decorative Walls
Decorative walls are more about aesthetics, but they still provide structure. They are generally installed around garden beds, patios, or tiered landscaping to define a space while adding structure or interest to the overall design. Although decorative walls typically don’t hold significant loads, they should still be appropriately designed and constructed with durable materials.
We design and build structural and decorative walls for residential and commercial masonry work. It does not matter if your wall is simply for structural or decorative purposes, you can trust our masonry company to provide you with a wall that looks great and performs as it should!
Proper Drainage and Soil Retention
A retaining wall is only as good as the drainage behind it. If the drainage is not considered, trapped water can build up pressure and cause it to crack, shift, or collapse. That is why drainage is an integral part of every one of our installations.
We employ tried and tested methods by utilizing French drains, gravel backfill, and weep holes to allow water to escape from the wall. We also grade the soil around the wall to manage runoff and erosion. All of these methods help prevent damage and alleviate the need for masonry to be repaired in the future.
Good drainage will keep the structure safe and prolong your wall’s lifespan. With the right design and materials, our local masonry team can deliver services to protect your property and keep your wall looking great for years.
Residential & Commercial Walls
Residential Applications
For your home, retaining walls are usually utilized to assist with sloped yards, help with driveway protection, or provide structure to patios and open spaces used for gardens. Retaining walls are helpful not only for function but also with appeal when thinking about home masonry work.
Commercial Applications
For commercial projects, retaining walls are used in hardscape construction; they help define areas and manage grading in areas not on level ground. They add landscape to things like the edge of the property, walks, outdoor seating areas, etc.
Our mason contractors build retaining walls for function and beauty. It doesn’t matter if you need a small backyard wall or large commercial retaining walls; our integrity and design aesthetic will hold you firm from project to project.
Permits and Local Considerations
Based on construction size and height, you may need a permit once you have received site-specific approval. Many governing jurisdictions have rules about how high you can build a wall, property lines, drainage, etc. It is best practice to understand local rules and regulations to prevent fines or issues.
As your masonry contractor, we will help you from start to finish with the permitting process. We have a good awareness of local codes and will ensure that we meet those requirements while working with city inspectors to keep your project on target.
With a strong knowledge of your local masonry regulations and reliable crews, you will have confidence in knowing your wall will pass all inspector requirements and last a long time.

FAQs
Rain and moisture can put extra pressure on retaining walls, especially during the wet season. That’s why proper drainage is key. We build walls with strong materials and include drainage systems—like gravel backfill and weep holes—to prevent water buildup and keep your wall strong and stable for years.
Concrete blocks, natural stone, and brick are all great options for Washington’s damp climate. These materials are durable, weather-resistant, and hold up well against moisture when installed correctly. We also use proper sealing and drainage techniques to make sure your wall stays strong and looks great, even with all the rain Washington gets.
