Natural stone retaining walls offer a timeless, upscale look while delivering serious strength and stability. In this gallery, you’ll see projects where we used limestone, fieldstone, and other natural materials to create walls that blend beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Each natural stone retaining wall is carefully designed for proper drainage, long-term performance, and a custom appearance that suits the architecture of the home.
THE CHALLENGES IN THE DESIGN
No two stones—or properties—are exactly alike. Many of these projects involved irregular slopes, clay-heavy soil, tight access, or existing patios and plantings that had to be protected. Our challenge was to build natural stone retaining walls that felt organic and hand-crafted, while still meeting modern engineering standards. That meant selecting and setting each stone by hand, establishing a strong base, and integrating unseen drainage so the wall stays stable and attractive for decades.
Our new natural stone retaining wall looks like it’s always been part of the property. It solved our erosion issues and completely elevated the look of our backyard.
THE FINAL RETAINING WALL DESIGN
For every project in this gallery, we focused on combining structure with natural beauty. Stone size, color, and texture were chosen to complement surrounding hardscapes, plantings, and outdoor living areas. Soft curves, stepped terraces, and integrated planting pockets help the walls feel like extensions of the landscape rather than separate structures. The result is a series of natural stone retaining walls that control erosion, create usable space, and deliver a classic, high-end look that only real stone can provide.
