A retaining wall has one job: hold back soil on a slope without failing. AG Landscaping builds engineered retaining walls in Colorado Springs using boulder, block, and stone construction, with drainage designed behind the wall so pressure doesn’t build up and cause it to lean or collapse over time. If you’re looking for a decorative garden or seat wall instead, see our stone wall page.
What’s Included
What’s Included
We build with boulder, segmental block, and stone depending on the wall’s height, purpose, and your yard’s style. Every wall includes drainage behind it, typically gravel backfill and a perforated drain pipe, since drainage failure is the most common reason retaining walls fail. Taller walls are designed with the engineering requirements that height demands.
Engineered for Colorado Soil and Slope
Front Range soil tends to run clay-heavy and expansive, which means it shifts more with moisture changes than sandier soil found elsewhere. Combined with spring snowmelt and sudden, heavy summer downpours, that combination is exactly what causes a poorly drained wall to fail within a few years. We design drainage around how water actually moves through Colorado soil across the seasons, not a generic spec sheet.
