Custom retaining walls, engineered for Colorado's terrain
A failing or poorly built wall is more than an eyesore — it's a structural risk to your property, and sometimes your neighbors'. We design and build walls that hold, drain, and last. Owner-led, with 25+ years of hands-on landscape experience — building as Colorado Native Landscapes & Design since 2018.
📍 Start Your ProjectBuilt for our freeze-thaw climate
Every wall we build is engineered for Colorado's specific conditions — freeze-thaw cycles, clay soils, and drainage that make or break a wall's lifespan. From concrete block and natural stone to timber and boulder walls, we choose the right material for your slope, your look, and your budget.
Every wall includes proper drainage behind it to relieve hydrostatic pressure — the single most common cause of premature wall failure. Whether it's a small decorative wall to define a bed or a major structural installation across multiple properties, we've built it, and built it to hold.
What every wall includes
Multi-neighbor coordination
We handle communication and coordination on shared walls — keeping every party informed and protecting relationships throughout.
Drainage included
Proper drainage behind every wall — the most important factor in long-term performance and the #1 defense against failure.
Property value protection
A properly engineered wall protects your foundation and adds usable outdoor space — a lasting investment in your home.

— Verified Google review · Front RangeMore than a wall — a finished space
Most of our retaining wall projects don't stop at the wall. Steps and concrete pillars, integrated lighting, a patio at the top or a gathering place at the base — we design the whole hillside together as one experience, so the wall becomes the backbone of a space you actually use.
What does a custom retaining wall project cost?
Most of our retaining wall projects range from $35,000 to $200,000+, depending on wall height and length, materials (concrete block, natural stone, boulder), site access, and how much of the surrounding space — steps, patios, lighting, plantings — is part of the build. After a site visit, you'll get a detailed proposal with a clear scope and a firm number.
Common questions
How long should a retaining wall last?
A properly engineered and installed wall should last 20–50+ years. The key factors are proper drainage behind the wall, correct batter angle, footing depth below the frost line, and quality materials — we build every wall to these standards.
Do you handle engineering and permits?
Yes. Walls over permit height are designed with proper engineering, and we manage the permit process with your city from application through final inspection.
Can you replace a failing wall another contractor built?
Yes — failing-wall replacements are some of our most common projects. We diagnose why the original wall failed (almost always drainage) and rebuild it correctly.
Do you build retaining walls as part of larger projects?
Most of the time. Walls typically anchor a bigger design — steps, pillars, patios, and fire features — built in phases or all at once.
Can you work with my neighbors on a shared wall?
Yes — it's one of our specialties. We've coordinated complex retaining wall projects involving multiple neighboring properties, handling both the technical build and the communication that keeps everyone on the same page.
What materials do you build with?
Concrete block, natural stone, timber, and boulder walls. We recommend the right material for your slope, drainage needs, aesthetic, and budget — not a one-size-fits-all default.
