Retaining walls, seat walls, fire pits, entry columns and veneer, built with real footings and drainage behind them.
Stone is what makes a yard look built rather than assembled. Retaining walls that hold a grade change, seat walls around a fire pit, columns at the driveway entry, veneer on a bare foundation wall.
We work in natural stone, cut limestone, manufactured veneer and block. Structural walls get footings, drainage and proper backfill, because a retaining wall that fails takes the yard behind it with it.
A retaining wall is a structure first. Ours have footings, drainage behind the wall and real reinforcement — because a wall that leans in year three isn't a wall.
Structural walls get a real footing, not a sand bed
Gravel backfill and weeps so water does not build behind
We match the existing stone on your house where we can
Workmanship warranty in the contract, on top of the manufacturer warranties on materials.
Texas limestone and Austin stone are what most homes around here already carry, which makes them the easy match for a new wall or column. Flagstone and ledger stone give more texture and are common on seat walls and fire pit surrounds. Manufactured veneer costs less and now looks convincing, but it is a facing rather than a structure, so it needs a proper backing wall behind it.
For anything holding back soil, the material matters less than what is behind it. A block or stone wall with gravel backfill, filter fabric and weep drainage will outlast a prettier wall built straight against dirt. When a client wants to cut cost on a retaining wall, we cut the facing material before we ever cut the drainage.
We walk the property with you, measure, and talk through how you actually want to use the space. Free, no pressure.
We recreate your yard in 3D and show you the finished space, with materials picked from real samples, plus an itemized written price.
We pull city permits and prepare your HOA packet, then give you a start date and keep it.
Our own crews build it. Forms pulled, debris hauled, site swept — your neighbors only know we were there by the finished work.
Free walkthrough, free 3D design, itemized price in writing. Financing available so the project doesn't have to wait.
Many cities in this area require an engineered design and a permit above a certain height, commonly around four feet. We check the rule for your city before we design anything, because the answer changes across the metroplex.
Almost always water. A wall without gravel backfill and weep drainage holds the pressure of saturated soil behind it, and eventually that pressure wins. The drainage is invisible once the job is done, which is exactly why it gets skipped on cheap bids.
Usually. Texas limestone and most builder-grade veneers are still available, and we bring samples out before we order. Where an exact match is not possible we will tell you and suggest a deliberate contrast instead of a near-miss.
Yes. We handle city permits and inspections for covered patios, pergolas, electrical and gas work across Rockwall, Royse City, Fate, Heath, Rowlett, Wylie, Forney, Garland, Dallas and the surrounding municipalities, and we prepare HOA submittal packets using your 3D design. Permit costs are a line item in your estimate.
Yes. A written workmanship warranty on every project, on top of the manufacturer warranties on pavers, turf, aluminum and materials. The terms are in your contract, not buried somewhere.
