Secure your outdoor area by providing extra support where it is most needed. We build our retaining walls with a diverse selection of natural stone or with manufactured block so we can ensure the design and materials chosen for your space are perfect for your outdoor sanctuary. We build our retaining walls as gravity walls, which means they rely on the mass for their primary stabilization. We also utilize many other engineering techniques based on conditions to ensure all of our retaining walls are built to last.

Create More Usable Yard Space with Retaining Walls

Not only are retaining walls an aesthetically pleasing landscaping addition to your home, but, through careful engineering and custom designs, they can allow you to utilize more of your favourite outdoor spaces. If you have a yard plagued by hills and slopes, a retaining wall may be the answer to transforming your land into a graded area for BBQs, picnics, tables, and much more!

  • How retaining walls work

    Retaining walls function by providing support to vertical slopes of soil. The soil that is retained by the wall, sometimes called backfill, is pushed by gravity towards its natural shape. By installing a retaining wall, the soil is held in place and the original slope is replaced with a graded, flat area which is easier to utilize for landscaping projects, yard usage, and many other functions.

    Not only do retaining walls provide a utilitarian engineering purpose, but they are designed to elevate your landscape through decorative design and elegant architecture.

    Natural Stone and Block Gravity Retaining Walls

    Blue Isle Landscaping primarily constructs gravity walls. This type of retaining wall utilizes the weight of the concrete or stone structure to hold back the sloping soil. Gravity walls are typically shorter in height in order to safely hold the soil from collapsing the wall. For this reason, they are ideal for yard landscaping and aesthetic purposes: easy to engineer and visually appealing stone and concrete designs.
