Retaining Walls in Clemson

Jessamine Landscaping builds boulder walls and SRW block walls in Clemson. Every wall gets drainage at its back, so water has a way out instead of pressing on the block. Lex, who owns the company, graduated from Clemson. The crew runs out of Anderson. Tell us what the slope has to hold and we'll come look at it for free.

How much does a retaining wall cost in Clemson?

The price follows the length and height of the wall, boulder or block, how much excavation is needed, whether it needs to be engineered, and access. A taller wall means more footing, structural elements such as geogrid, better drainage measures and engineering. Estimates are free, and you get the number after we see the yard.

Where a Clemson yard meets the woods

Plenty of Clemson yards back up to a tree line that sits higher than the lawn. That's where a low wall earns its keep.

A low boulder wall or a run of block holds that ground back and gives the gravel or sod a clean edge. We'll tell you which material suits your slope and show you where the drainage runs.

Common Questions

Who handles the drainage above and below the wall?

We do. Drainage is part of the wall and part of the yard, and yard drainage is one of our services, so it is one company and one call.

Is it normal for a retaining wall to lean back a little?

A segmental block wall is stepped back slightly as it rises, so it leans into the soil it holds. That is the design. A wall that leans outward, bulges or shows gaps has a problem, usually water behind it or a weak foundation.

Retaining Walls

How We Work

  • Decades of experience. We bring decades of experience to every wall, boulder or block.
  • Strong foundations. Every wall starts with a strong foundation, because a wall is only as steady as what it sits on.
  • Proper drainage. Drainage is built behind the wall, so water has a way out.
  • Built to last. Every wall gets its foundation and drainage before the first block or boulder goes up.
