Retaining Wall Construction

Many Glendale properties sit on hillside lots or have uneven terrain that limits usable outdoor space and creates erosion challenges. A properly engineered and constructed retaining wall solves these problems while adding architectural structure and visual appeal to your landscape. Glendale Pavers and Driveways Repair & Install builds retaining walls using segmental concrete block, natural stone, and poured concrete systems, selecting the right product based on height requirements, soil conditions, and your design goals.

Our wall construction process begins with excavation and the installation of a compacted gravel footing base. Each course is carefully leveled and set back at the proper batter angle for structural stability. We install drainage aggregate and perforated pipe behind every wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure — the leading cause of retaining wall failure. Cap stones or a complementary paver border complete the finished look, tying the wall visually into the surrounding landscape and hardscape.

Beyond function, retaining walls create terraced planting beds, raised lawn areas, and elevated patio platforms that dramatically increase the livable outdoor space on challenging lots. We work closely with homeowners to design walls that serve a structural purpose while looking like a deliberate, beautiful part of the landscape rather than a purely utilitarian structure.
