Retaining Walls in Greenville
Jessamine Landscaping builds SRW block and boulder retaining walls in Greenville, with drainage behind every wall. At a new build there, a long block wall with stepped ends holds the hill behind the house, gravel runs along its top, and evergreens are planted up the slope. Shorter capped block walls frame a pool bed and a front entry bed. Call for a free estimate.

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.

Block walls holding back a Greenville new-build hill
Behind one Greenville new build we ran a block wall nearly the full width of a yard that climbs toward a row of two-story homes, and stepped it down at both ends to meet the grade. A paver patio runs along its base. Up the slope, blue spruces sit in mulch rings and arborvitae run across the top.
Not every wall has a hill to hold. At a Greenville pool, a capped block wall curves around a river rock bed with path lights, and at a new house a low curved wall lifts a bed of river rock and shrubs across the front.
What we've built in Greenville
- Most of our Greenville jobs are at new builds.
- Behind one new build we built a long block retaining wall with stepped ends to hold a sodded slope, then laid a wide paver patio and walk in front of it.
- At a pool yard we laid a round paver fire pit patio with a block seat wall, and lit river rock beds edged in capped block.
- Across the front of a new house we built a curved block wall that raises a river rock bed of arborvitae and shrubs.
Common Questions
What goes behind a retaining wall?
There is a multitude of material that goes behind a wall such as 57 stone (drainage stone), non-woven geotextile fabric, geogrid, perforated pipe, compacted backfill, wall drains, and more.
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.
"Lex and his crew did an outstanding job building a retaining wall along one side of our house. We now have so much more usable yard space by making that all level. They were very professional, respectful, and hard working. We would HIGHLY recommend them for any of your landscaping needs!"

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.
