Retaining Wall Installation

Why You Might Need One

Sloped soil, water running toward your house, or unusable yard space, it’s all fixable. A retaining wall keeps soil where it belongs, manages drainage, and turns tricky slopes into usable areas. Common situations we solve:

• Your neighbor’s failing wall is dumping soil on your property
• Erosion is threatening your foundation or driveway
• You can’t use half your yard because it’s too steep
• Water pools against your house after heavy rain
• Your old wood wall is rotting and leaning
• You need level space for a patio, garden, or play area

Common Problems We Solve

“My current wall is failing” Leaning walls, cracking, or soil washing through are signs of poor drainage or inadequate design. We’ll assess whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

“I’m getting conflicting advice from contractors” With John’s engineering background, we can explain exactly why certain approaches work or don’t work for your specific situation.

“My neighbor’s wall affects my property” We can assess the situation and work with you (and them) to find solutions that protect both properties.

“I have utilities in the way” We coordinate with utility companies for safe relocation or protection of lines. It’s part of our regular process.

Why Metro Retaining Walls Stands Out

• Engineering-first approach – Your wall isn’t guesswork. It’s designed by someone who lived and breathed structure at Boeing.
• Full-service handling – Permits, design, construction, cleanup…done. No gray hairs for you.
• Local-focused & trusted – We’re a retaining wall company based in the St. Louis Metro area and know its soil, climate, and inspection quirks.
• 40+ years combined team experience – Crew members are trained and certified. You get quality and consistency.

Our retaining wall services Include:

• Engineering and Design/Build
• Modular Block Retaining Walls
• Excavation and Grading

• Tight spaces where access is difficult
• Complex projects involving multiple terraced walls
• Coordination with other trades (plumbers, electricians, landscapers)
