Retaining Walls
Structural integrity meets timeless design. We build retaining walls that hold ground and turn heads.
Retaining Walls That Work as Hard as They Look
Retaining walls aren't just decorative — they're structural. They hold back soil, prevent erosion, manage water runoff, and create usable space on sloped properties. When built right, they last decades. When built wrong, they fail.
At All-Out Hardscapes LLC, we build retaining walls using proven engineering principles and premium materials. Natural stone, manufactured block, or brick — we match the material to the application and your aesthetic preferences.
Whether you need a small garden wall, a multi-tiered landscape feature, or a structural retaining wall to protect your property, our veteran team delivers craftsmanship you can count on.
Benefits & Features
Erosion Control
Properly engineered walls prevent soil erosion, protecting your property and landscaping investment from Savannah's heavy rains.
Usable Space
Transform sloped, unusable yard areas into flat, functional living space — perfect for patios, gardens, or play areas.
Drainage Integration
Every wall we build includes proper drainage — gravel backfill, drain pipe, and weep holes to prevent hydrostatic pressure failure.
Material Variety
Natural stone, manufactured block, brick veneer — we help you choose the right material for your project's structural and aesthetic needs.
Property Value
Well-built retaining walls add significant curb appeal and functional value to your property.
Built Right
We follow industry best practices for base preparation, setback, and compaction — because a wall that leans is a wall that fails.
Our Retaining Walls Process
From first call to finished project — here's what to expect.
Site Assessment
We evaluate the slope, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and determine the best wall type and material for your property.
Design & Engineering
Detailed plans including wall height, setback calculations, drainage design, and material selection tailored to your project.
Build & Complete
Excavation, compacted gravel base, drainage pipe installation, precision block/stone placement, and final grading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most residential retaining walls are 2-4 feet tall. Walls over 4 feet typically require engineering and permits. We handle walls of all sizes and can advise on tiered designs for taller requirements.
The #1 cause is poor drainage. Without proper gravel backfill and drain pipe, water pressure builds behind the wall and pushes it out. Inadequate base preparation is the second most common cause.
A properly built retaining wall should last 50+ years. That's why we don't cut corners on base prep and drainage — the work you don't see is what matters most.
In Savannah, walls over 4 feet typically require a building permit and may need engineering drawings. We'll handle the permit process for you if required.
It depends on the application. Manufactured block is cost-effective and consistent. Natural stone is beautiful and timeless. We'll help you choose based on your budget, aesthetic, and structural needs.
