Why Choose a Stone Retaining Wall?
Stone retaining walls offer a rare balance of durability and natural beauty. They create structure, manage elevation changes, and elevate the look of your property—all while standing the test of time.
Benefits of Stone Retaining Walls
- Exceptional Durability: Natural stone is incredibly strong and resists the elements for decades.
- Timeless Aesthetic: Each wall is unique, with colors and textures that blend seamlessly into any landscape.
- Increased Property Value: A professionally built wall enhances curb appeal and adds usable space.
- Low Maintenance: Stone requires minimal upkeep compared to other materials.
If you’re dealing with erosion, slope instability, or an aging wall, a new stone retaining wall can provide immediate stabilization and lasting peace of mind.
Our Stone Retaining Wall Services
At Bay Area Retaining Wall Pros, we provide complete stone retaining wall solutions from design to installation. Our process is structured, transparent, and tailored to your property.
Custom Design & Planning
Every property is unique, and so is every wall we build. We start with an on-site consultation to assess factors like:
- Slope and soil composition
- Drainage needs
- Desired wall dimensions
- Preferred stone type and finish
We’ll recommend the best design for your property—whether you prefer a rustic dry-stacked wall or a clean, mortared stone finish.
Professional Installation
Our skilled masons bring years of hands-on experience to each project. We use high-quality, locally sourced stone and proven construction methods to ensure both beauty and strength.
1. Site Assessment & Consultation
We begin by inspecting your property to understand its unique conditions, slope, and soil type. This helps us determine the best approach for design and installation.
2. Foundation Construction
A solid, level foundation is essential for structural stability. We excavate, grade, and compact the base to prepare for the wall’s weight and height.
3. Stone Placement
Each stone is carefully positioned for both visual balance and strength. Our masons take time to interlock and secure stones properly for long-term performance.
4. Drainage Integration
We install gravel backfill, weep holes, and other drainage systems to prevent water pressure and maintain wall integrity over time.
5. Finishing Touches
Once construction is complete, we clean and shape the wall for a natural, polished look. Sealing is available upon request for added protection.
Stone Options for Every Style
We offer a variety of natural and engineered stone types, including:
- Granite: Extremely durable with a classic, upscale look.
- Limestone: Smooth and elegant with lighter tones.
- Sandstone: Warm colors and natural textures.
- Fieldstone: Rustic, rounded shapes for a natural aesthetic.
- Custom Blends: Mix stone types for a one-of-a-kind design.
Not sure which style fits your property best? We’ll guide you through options with samples and design recommendations.
When to Consider a Stone Retaining Wall
A stone retaining wall is ideal for properties facing these challenges or goals:
- Erosion or Slope Failure: Prevent soil movement and protect your property.
- Expanding Usable Space: Create level areas for patios, gardens, or recreation.

- Enhancing Curb Appeal: Add natural texture and a timeless finish to your landscape.
We offer free site assessments to determine the best approach for your project.
How Much Does a Stone Retaining Wall Cost?
