Landscaping Rock Walls

Are you considering a rock wall addition to your property? With years of experience with rockery construction and design, our employees are able to present artistry and finesse through the finished wall. Each rock, with its gentle curves and flat even front, are machine-set like a jigsaw puzzle.

What About Building a Rock Wall?

If you plan to lengthen your existing rock wall, the area must be ready for work and free of obstacles. Remove large trees, bushes, shrubs, roots, or plants that will be too close to the wall after construction.

When we build a rock wall, we check for proper drainage. If water pools near the wall, the structure will deteriorate faster. Water loosens mortar, and the entire wall could collapse. After raising a rock wall, do not use a pressure washer. Spray down the wall with your hose and wipe off any debris by hand.

Common Signs You Need Rock Wall Repair

Rock walls around your property show typical signs of wear and tear that anyone will notice. Unfortunately, there are common signs of more severe damage for which you should be watchful.

Cracks at the Corners

Corner cracks begin at the weakest part of the wall and move vertically. When you see these cracks, the soil in those areas is too loose to support the structure. Call one of our experts as soon as possible to assess the situation.

Bulges Throughout the Wall

Bulges in the wall indicate too much weight behind the wall, moisture buildup, or seepage through the structure. Snowmelt often increases moisture levels and causes bulging, and the mortar could dissolve. Contact one of our experts for help the moment you notice this issue.

Salt Deposits

Salt deposits on the face of the wall indicate water is present. While this does not mean the structure is crumbling, it shows that you have too much humidity behind the wall. Call us as soon as you can for help resolving this problem.

How to Repair a Wall

With a retaining wall on your property, it suffers damage from sunlight, heavy winds, and rain throughout the year. Plants grow into the wall, and accidental damage erodes the structure. You might notice small cracks or chipped material, and these problems should be repaired as quickly as possible.

When we repair a rock retaining wall, we reseed loose rocks, replace damaged mortar, and fill holes. We do everything in our power to save the wall and make our repairs fit into the current design.

Routine Maintenance

Stone wall repair can be expensive, and routine maintenance keeps the wall in excellent condition. We will visit your home once or twice a year, handle small repairs, and give you an assessment of the lifespan of the wall.

Do not attempt a stone retaining wall repair on your own. Our experts handle everything, use industrial materials, and have an eye for design. We make sure your wall looks as though the damage never occurred.
