Armor stone is the right answer when a slope has to be held and you want it to look like it grew there. We build retaining walls, wide steps cut into a hillside, terraced garden beds and boulder features, and we handle the machine work ourselves.
We also build with timber and block when that suits the site better. A wall that holds the grade is a structural job, so the base, drainage and backfill get as much attention as the face you see.
Common questions
What is armor stone?
Large, quarried rock, usually granite or limestone, used for retaining walls and steps. The size is what lets it hold a slope.
Can you build a wall on a steep slope?
Often, yes. We look at the grade, the drainage and the access when we visit the site.
Do you plant around the wall?
Yes. We can plant the beds around and above the wall once it is done.
