Reimagine Your Sloped Yard: Beauty Meets Functionality
on’t let a sloped yard limit your outdoor space potential. Cargan’s expertly designed retaining walls not only add beauty to your landscape but also create valuable flat land for patios, gardens, or additional entertaining areas. Imagine the possibilities – a fire pit gathering space, a tranquil reading nook, or a vibrant flower bed – all made possible with a well-constructed retaining wall.
What’s Under Our Retaining Walls?
Cargan’s retaining walls are built to last! We create a strong foundation with crushed stone, filter fabric, and drainage for optimal water flow. Engineered materials and compacted layers form a stable core, further reinforced with geo-grid for added strength. Finally, secure caps ensure a beautiful and lasting finish.
Installation Process
Excavation & Foundation
We precisely excavate the area and install a compacted crushed stone base for optimal drainage.

Stable Core
Engineered stone is installed and compacted to create a strong and stable core for the wall.
Wall Construction
Your retaining wall is meticulously built to ensure a flawless and sturdy structure.
Backfill & Reinforcement
Engineered limestone is placed and compacted behind the wall, further strengthened with geo-grid.

FAQ’s ABOUT RETAINING WALLS
Retaining walls offer a powerful one-two punch: functionality and beauty. They level uneven terrain, creating usable space for patios, gardens, or extra yard fun. They also act as erosion control warriors, protecting your property from damage. Plus, they add a stunning visual element to your landscape design.
Cargan offers a variety of options to suit your style and budget. We use high-quality materials like segmental retaining walls (SRWs) – versatile precast concrete blocks available in various styles and colors to complement your home. For a timeless look, we also offer natural stone. In some cases, treated wood can be a cost-effective option, but we’ll discuss the specifics with you to ensure it’s the right fit for your project.
Cargan builds retaining walls to endure! When crafted with top-notch materials and our expert installation techniques, your retaining wall will last for many years to come. We back our work with a 5-year warranty on our labor for hardscape installations, giving you peace of mind.
The need for a permit depends on the size and height of the wall, as well as local regulations. No worries – Cargan will guide you through the permitting process. We’ll ensure your retaining wall meets all code requirements, so you can focus on enjoying your new outdoor space.
The cost of a retaining wall varies depending on several factors, including size, materials used, complexity of the design, and your site conditions. To get a personalized quote for your dream retaining wall, schedule a free consultation with Cargan Outdoor Living. We’ll discuss your needs and create a customized plan that fits your budget.
