Retaining Walls Built for Strength, Drainage & Lasting Performance








Each wall is approached according to the conditions and demands of the property.
A retaining wall does more than define your landscape. It helps manage elevation changes, hold back soil, control erosion, and create more usable space throughout your property.
Cruz Masonry builds and repairs retaining walls with careful attention to base preparation, drainage, structural stability, and finished appearance.
From managing slopes and elevation changes to controlling erosion and creating more usable space, Cruz Masonry builds and repairs retaining walls with careful attention to base preparation, drainage, structural stability, and finished appearance.
BUILT AROUND YOUR PROPERTY
Build a durable retaining wall designed around the elevation, soil conditions, layout, and specific needs of your property.
Create defined landscape areas, raised planting beds, and clean transitions between different elevations with functional masonry walls.
Construct retaining walls designed to support significant grade changes and soil loads with proper planning, drainage, and reinforcement where required.
Extend an existing retaining wall to accommodate landscape changes, property improvements, or additional areas requiring soil retention.
MANAGING SLOPES, SOIL & ELEVATION
Use retaining walls to manage difficult elevation changes and create cleaner, more functional transitions throughout sloped properties.
Help stabilize soil in areas where runoff, slopes, and changing elevations contribute to erosion or unwanted soil movement.
Transform sloped or uneven areas into more functional spaces for landscaping, lawns, patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas.
Break larger elevation changes into multiple wall levels to create a more natural transition and additional usable landscape areas.
WHAT'S BEHIND THE WALL MATTERS
A retaining wall starts below the finished surface. The base is excavated, prepared, and compacted to provide stable support for the wall above.
Proper drainage helps manage water behind the wall and reduce hydrostatic pressure that can contribute to movement, leaning, and premature failure.
Appropriate backfill materials and proper compaction help create stable conditions behind the wall and support long-term performance.
Depending on wall height, site conditions, and design requirements, reinforcement may be incorporated to provide additional structural support.
SOLUTIONS FOR AGING OR FAILING WALLS
Evaluate walls that have begun leaning or bowing to identify potential drainage, construction, soil pressure, or foundation-related problems.
Assess cracked, separated, shifting, or otherwise damaged retaining walls to determine whether repair or replacement is the appropriate solution.
Address drainage conditions that may be contributing to excessive water buildup and pressure behind an existing retaining wall.
Remove failing or severely deteriorated walls and rebuild the area with proper preparation, drainage, backfill, and construction practices.
