Question 1

Which is better for my property: boulder or timber?

Accepted Answer

It mostly depends on your landscape and your goals. Boulder walls offer a natural, rugged look and last a lifetime, while timber walls provide a clean, modern finish and can be easier to fit into tighter spaces. We can look at your slope together and help you pick the best fit for your home.

Question 2

How do you keep the wall from falling over or shifting?

Accepted Answer

The secret to a strong wall is actually what’s behind it. We use proper "tie-backs" and deep footings to anchor the wall into the hillside. This ensures the weight of the soil doesn’t push the wall forward over time, even with Asheville’s steep grades.

Question 3

What happens to water when it rains heavily?

Accepted Answer

We build every wall with a hidden drainage system. By using gravel and drainage pipes behind the wall, we give rainwater a place to go so it doesn't build up pressure. This is the most important step in making sure your wall stays stable for years.

Question 4

Can a retaining wall really create more yard space?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that’s one of their best uses. By "terracing" a steep hill with one or more walls, we can turn a slope you can’t use into a flat, functional area for a lawn, garden, or parking pad.

Question 5

How long will a new retaining wall last?

Accepted Answer

Boulder walls are essentially permanent, while our timber walls are built with heavy-duty, pressure-treated wood designed to last for decades. Our focus on professional engineering and moisture control means your wall is a long-term investment in your property’s safety.
