Segmental Block Wall

The workhorse

Interlocking concrete block laid in running courses with a finished cap. The most versatile wall we build — straight runs, gentle curves, and most residential heights.

Sweeping lines

Curved Segmental Wall

Follows the land

Segmental block laid along a flowing radius so the wall follows the slope and shape of the property instead of fighting it. A signature look on St. Louis-area lots.

Old-world character

Natural Stone Wall

Timeless material

Coursed natural stone with a hand-set feel. The most traditional look we offer, and the one that ages most gracefully beside established homes and gardens.

Best of both

Stone Veneer-Faced Wall

Structure plus finish

A structural block or poured core faced in natural or cast stone veneer. Engineered strength behind the face, with the look of a full stone wall.

Classic St. Louis

Brick Retaining Wall

Matches the home

A mortared brick wall, often built to match the brick on the house itself. A natural fit for the brick neighborhoods throughout St. Louis City and County.

Regional stone

Limestone Wall

Cut and coursed

Cut limestone units in clean, regular courses. A regional material with a crisp, architectural face that suits both historic and newer properties.

For steeper grades

Tiered & Terraced Walls

One slope, several walls

Two or more lower walls stepped up a slope instead of one tall structure. Terracing reduces the load on each wall and creates planting beds between levels.

Shapes outdoor rooms

Garden & Seat Walls

Lower profiles

Low walls that edge planting beds, frame patios, or double as seating. Less about holding back a hill, more about giving the landscape structure.

Rustic strength

Boulder Wall

Natural mass

Large natural boulders set and keyed together. A rugged, informal look that handles grade changes with mass rather than mortar.

Taller & loaded walls

What shapes the final price

What the site asks of the work.

Every property deserves an evaluation of its existing masonry and conditions.

  • Grade and load Height, length, and what the wall supports.
  • Drainage Water behind the wall needs a path away.
  • Materials Block, stone, brick, and limestone call for different methods.
  • Access Equipment routes and removal of an existing wall.

Shape the landscape with intention.
