Built strong, built smart, built to last.
Retaining Wall Construction
At J&A’s Hands On Services, retaining walls aren’t just about holding back soil. They’re also about strength, structure, and style. Whether you need to prevent erosion, create more usable space, or enhance curb appeal, we design and build retaining walls that look great and stand the test of time.
What Retaining Walls Do
A retaining wall serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. It stabilizes sloped areas, manages drainage, and prevents erosion while transforming uneven terrain into a clean, usable landscape.
Our walls are perfect for:
Sloped yards and erosion control
Driveway and parking support
Garden and landscape terraces
Property leveling and grading
Our Retaining Wall Process
Every project starts with a plan. We don’t just stack blocks, we engineer stability.
Our process includes:
Site Assessment: We evaluate soil type, slope, and water flow to plan proper drainage and structure.
Excavation and Base Prep: We dig deep for a solid foundation, ensuring proper compaction and leveling.
Drainage Installation: Perforated pipe, gravel backfill, and geotextile fabric prevent pressure and water damage.
Wall Construction: Using concrete block, natural stone, eco-block, or timber, installed with precision and alignment.
Finishing and Cleanup: We backfill, grade, and clean the site so your wall looks polished and professional.
