Retaining Wall Construction

Turn Sloped Yards Into Usable Space That Lasts

Sloped properties waste space and create erosion problems. Retaining walls hold back soil, level out yards, and give you flat areas for landscaping, patios, or lawn. A well-built wall solves drainage issues while adding structure and curb appeal to your property. We build walls that handle pressure, shed water properly, and stay standing through Missouri freeze-thaw cycles.

We've installed retaining walls using different materials—concrete block, natural stone, and timber—depending on budget, height requirements, and the look you want. Each wall starts with proper excavation, compacted base material, and drainage behind the wall so water doesn't build up and push it out. We handle walls for raised garden beds, terraced landscaping, driveway support, and erosion control on steep lots. Every install includes the engineering details that prevent failure down the road.

Wilmes Lawn Care has built retaining walls across Maryville and northwest Missouri since 2015. We own the equipment to dig, haul materials, and install walls efficiently without tearing up your entire yard.

Proper Base Preparation – Excavate and compact gravel base layers that prevent settling and keep walls level over time.
Drainage Integration – Install perforated pipe and gravel backfill behind walls so water exits properly instead of building pressure.
