We build strong, functional retaining walls designed to manage slopes, control erosion, and improve the look and stability of your property. Serving Sandpoint and surrounding North Idaho areas.
Retaining walls do more than just hold back soil. They manage slopes, prevent erosion, and create usable space on your property. When done right, they also improve curb appeal and increase property value.
At Raise The Bar Construction, we offer Sandpoint retaining wall services tailored to North Idaho properties. Whether you're stabilizing a hillside, leveling a yard, or improving drainage, we build walls that are strong and functional.
From excavation to finish, we handle it all. We use proven techniques, quality materials, and a local team that gets the job done right.
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.
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:
If you’re investing in a retaining wall, make sure it’s built to do its job. Our Sandpoint retaining wall services are designed to deliver results that hold up—for both your property and your peace of mind.
Retaining walls do more than hold back soil—they solve real problems and add lasting value to your property. When installed properly, they help protect your land, improve drainage, and make steep areas more usable.
Here’s what a well-built retaining wall can do for you:

Keeps soil from washing away during storms or snowmelt—especially on sloped lots.

Redirects water away from structures, walkways, or outdoor living areas.
Add Usable Space
Turns uneven or sloped ground into level areas for patios, gardens, or driveways.
Improve Property Value
Boosts curb appeal while adding long-term structural benefit to your land.
Support Nearby Structures
Protects foundations, driveways, and fences from shifting or soil movement.
