Rock Retaining Walls are a Great Choice for Western W.A. Climate
The Benefits: Durability, Stability, Protection, and Aesthetics
It holds soil in place, preventing erosion and stabilizing the land. Our well-designed walls have drainage features to redirect water safely, which is important for hilly landscapes.
Make more usable space by fixing a sloping wall. Some of our customers increase their outdoor space by up to 10 ft to create functional spaces for gardens, patios, or play areas.
Natural stone does not crack, rot, or deteriorate in heavy rain. It also has high resistance to freeze-thaw damage.
Reduce mudslides and slope instability by reinforcing slopes and preventing dangerous ground movement.
They are low maintenance and can last decades. They blend naturally with the environment, increasing property value and beautifying your outdoors.
We Source Our Natural Rocks from the Mountains
We have a great partnership with our vendor, CalPortland, to source natural rocks from White River, WA.
We are proud to be partners with a vendor that works toward sustainable construction solutions. From researching carbonation to innovating environmentally friendly blended cements, CalPortland takes sustainability in construction seriously.
Basalt Rock
Basalt rock is our most popular rockery wall material. It’s known for its durability – withstanding heavy rainfall, erosion, and temperature fluctuations.
The visual appeal of the dark, natural tones is also a customer favorite. It gives a timeless look that blends well with the natural greenery.
Best of all, this rock requires minimal processing, reducing environmental impact.

We Build to Code
Rockery walls do not need a construction permit if the following 3 conditions are met (Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections).
1. The wall is 4 feet or lower in height
2. The wall is not located in or near an environmentally critical area.
3. The wall will not damage adjoining properties during or after construction of the wall.
If you don’t meet these 3 conditions, we can help!
We partner with geotechnical engineers and guide you through the process of getting a new construction permit.
Cost & Time
How much does it cost and how long does the work take? It depends on:
1. The Project
Each project and environment is unique so we consider your goals and bring a personalized approach.
2. Area/Location of Work
If there is access for machinery on your site, this can greatly decrease the work time.
For example, in a 1,000 sq. ft. space, excavator access can cut the work time in half compared to manual labor.

We have a diverse selection of materials and finishes to choose from. So the products you select is important to calculate the cost and time.

It varies, but the factors that influence the price are project difficulty, ease of access, and project size.
It depends on the access to the project and the size of the project. We have top-notch equipment to do the job efficiently and quickly compared to our competition.
We source rocks from different quarries but mostly from Calportland, which is based in Enumclaw. For blocks we use basalite, Bellgard, and Mutual materials
It is usually up to you but our experienced personnel will help explain the best materials and color options based on your property.
We ensure proper drainage by adding perforated pipes behind the wall which are wrapped in fabric and covered with drain rocks. One of the biggest reasons for falling walls is because they have no drainage behind them. We make sure to add proper drainage in every wall.
Yes, rock retaining walls need maintenance to prevent problems from becoming major repairs.
Maintenance checklist:
– Regular Inspections at least once a year to see if there is no cracking.
– Remove vegetation plants like trees, shrubs, or vines there roots can damage the wall.
– Check drainage. Poor drainage can damage the wall by building up the water behind the wall which can lead to leaning.
Work can start as soon as 2-4 weeks, sometime sooner depending on the project. We have the equipment and personnel to get to projects faster than competitors.
