Retaining wall with plants and mulch

If you’re thinking about giving your outdoor space a facelift, a retaining wall is just the Botox your backyard needs. If you have a sloped yard, you might realize after a torrential storm that this is when a retaining wall is needed.  Installing a retaining wall adds the order and precision your yard needs. 

We serve New Castle County and solve your landscaping needs, offering a variety of services, including retaining walls and hardscaping services.

Your Landscape and Retaining Wall Contractor

Our retaining wall service allows you to enjoy creations like sitting walls, sitting wall patios, and retaining wall details that spark joy and add beauty to your backyard. A sitting wall can wrap around a firepit area for extra seating, and retaining walls can be used to add more space to a space. By installing a retaining wall or several (called a terrace), you add more space to work with. 

You can also benefit from the same First Class Lawn Care commitment to our customers and your goals as you would with any other project.
