Retaining Walls
Block, stone, and timber walls that hold a slope and stay plumb through Maryland winters
A premium take on retaining walls
A retaining wall is only as good as what's behind it. Inestroza Landscaping builds walls on a compacted gravel base with proper drainage stone, perforated pipe, and geogrid where the height calls for it, so the wall holds the hill instead of slowly leaning into the yard. We build segmental block, natural stone, and timber walls for sloped lots, terraced gardens, driveway edges, and walk-out basements across Carroll County.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Compacted gravel footing and leveled first course
- Drainage stone and perforated pipe behind every wall
- Geogrid reinforcement on taller walls
- Segmental block, natural stone, or timber
- Terracing and steps integrated into the wall
- Backfill, grading, and cleanup included
