Retaining Walls in Seneca

Jessamine Landscaping builds boulder and SRW block retaining walls in Seneca, and every wall gets drainage behind it. At the park job in Seneca, the sod we laid steps down in curved terraces between low concrete walls facing a covered stage. A sloped backyard can be shaped the same way, one level at a time. Estimates are free.

How much does a retaining wall cost in Seneca?

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.

Turning a Seneca slope into level ground

In Seneca we sodded the curved lawn bands in front of the new stage and put sprinklers in them.

At your house the wall is boulders or stacked SRW block, and the drainage behind it keeps water from building up against the back. Each level you gain is room for a bed, a patio or more lawn. We're 21 miles from our Anderson base and can walk the slope with you.

What we've built in Seneca

  • Around a covered stage in a Seneca park, we sodded the lawn and put pop-up sprinklers in it, down to the curved terraces between low concrete walls.
  • Along the walks we built river rock beds of young trees and low shrubs, and each new tree on the open grass got its own mulch ring.
  • We took the park lawn from graded red clay to finished sod.

Common Questions

Why do retaining walls lean or fail?

Almost always water and the footing. Water pushing from behind, or a foundation too weak for the load, moves a wall over time. That is why we start with a strong foundation and proper drainage, and why we build walls to last.

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!"

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.
