TYPES OF RETAINING WALLS WE BUILD

No two properties are the same, and neither are retaining walls. At Raise The Bar Construction, we build each wall to match your needs—whether it’s for holding back soil, leveling a slope, or just improving your yard’s look. From function to style, we’ve got you covered with walls that last.

Common Types of Retaining Walls We Build


Gravity Walls

These rely on their own weight to hold soil in place. They're great for shorter walls with wide bases.


Segmental Block Walls

Built with interlocking concrete blocks. They’re strong, clean-looking, and can be customized to fit your space.


Reinforced Walls

Designed for taller or load-bearing needs. We add geogrid or poured concrete for extra strength.


Natural Stone or Boulder Walls

Perfect if you want a more rustic, natural look. They blend well with outdoor landscapes while providing solid support.


Landscape Garden Walls

Used more for looks and layout—great for defining spaces, not for holding back heavy loads.

OUR RETAINING WALL INSTALLATION PROCESS

A well-built retaining wall starts with proper planning and ends with careful execution. We follow a proven process to make sure your wall is strong, stable, and built to last—whether it's holding back a hillside or adding definition to your yard.

Step 1

Site Evaluation

We assess the slope, soil, drainage, and surrounding area to determine the best wall type and design for your property.

Step 2

Excavation & Base Prep

We dig to the proper depth and compact a solid base—usually with gravel or crushed rock—to create a stable foundation.

Step 3

Drainage Installation

Every retaining wall needs proper drainage. We install drain pipes, gravel backfill, and filter fabric to help manage water flow and prevent pressure buildup.

Step 4

Wall Installation

We stack and align blocks or stone with precision, reinforcing as needed with geogrid or other materials based on the wall height and load.

Step 5

Backfilling & Finish Work

Once the wall is built, we backfill in layers, compacting each lift to avoid settling. We finish the job with grading, cleanup, and any additional landscaping around the wall.

WHY PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION MATTERS

Poor installation can lead to leaning, cracking, or even total failure—especially in North Idaho’s variable soil and weather conditions.


With professional installation, you can expect:


  • Proper compaction and drainage to prevent shifting or bulging
  • Materials and wall design suited to your soil and load conditions
  • Compliance with local codes and slope requirements
  • Clean, straight lines and finishes that look good and last
