Testimonials
Absolutely fantastic.
We had the New Life team replace our failing retaining wall, build steps from our front to back yard, and create an area for a fire pit.
Despite torrential rain during the project, they stabilized our wall and completed the work with surgical precision.
Our neighbors were also really happy with the transformation.
They replaced an ugly, rotten wall with a beautiful terraced one —in terrible weather—and stayed on budget doing so.
They were so easy to work with, and we are so happy with the result.
Thank you!!
New Life Rockeries was so easy to work with on every step of the process.
They heard our hopes and goals, provided awesome professional feedback to make it even better than we imagined, and got the job done!
They started sooner than we expected, were extremely detail-focused (since I'm working from home, I'd spy a little and was impressed by how they would take the time to get each stone perfect), and they came in under budget!
This was not a small project either—they:
- Leveled a weird hill we had
- Moved an old rock wall
- Built a new rock wall with the old stones in another part of the yard
- Constructed a beautiful new patio and retaining wall with a built-in bench
Can't recommend them enough and will definitely get more projects done by them in the future!
In the photos, you’ll see a concrete wall—that ugly thing was NOT their work. It’s getting covered by a fence that will sit on top of the lovely wall New Life built.
We loved working with the team.
They listened to our concerns, addressed landscape issues, provided reasonable solutions that worked, and delivered excellent work.
The team was meticulous and conscientious of our neighbors. They allowed us to expand on the project, finding what worked best.
Clean-up every day was part of their routine, and we were kept informed every step of the way.
We absolutely love our new patio areas, rockeries, landscape, and drainage solutions. We now have a very livable and workable space!
We would hire them again.
Finding the Right Block Retaining Walls
Block Retaining Wall Construction
Before beginning construction on your retaining wall, our retaining wall experts first identify and mark the area where the wall will be built. There is always the possibility that your Homeowner’s Association has a regulation or code that could prohibit the legal construction of the wall due to water mains, sewers, or electrical wires. At New Life Rockeries, we research these things on your behalf, so that we can avoid wasted time, energy, and resources.
Once all the details are in order and the blocks have been chosen, our skilled team will begin construction. Retaining wall construction will take anywhere between a few days to several weeks to complete. This duration will depend upon the size and complexity of the retaining wall.
Final Product
After digging a foundational trench, our builders will install gravel and other support structures to ensure that water flow is properly redirected and that the wall will have a strong and secure foundation. From there, builders construct the wall layer by layer, ensuring that the courses are even and level for a beautiful finished product.
If you are considering a retaining wall and would like the unique block look, our team here at New Life Rockeries would love to support your project with reliability, excellent customer service, and skill. For more information, feel free to give us a call, or fill out our contact form.

Short walls made of concrete are the easiest types of retaining wall to build. These concrete alternatives are fantastic options for a raised flower bed or for a front yard.
However, rock structures are typically more aesthetically appealing and will provide you with a larger increase in property value.
Yes, we can! Our contractors have the knowledge and expertise to build a retaining wall for you, even if you have a sloped yard.
These types of retaining walls do typically take longer to build as the trenches need to be deeper, however, our business has the equipment to navigate almost all types of terrain so give us a call at 425-678-2217 to request a free quote for our service today.
