Retaining Walls

Depending on the layout of your yard you may need a retaining wall to be installed along with your other rockery designs in your yard. Deciding whether or not a retaining wall is necessary for your yard may take a little discussion with your landscaping professionals. Retaining walls are generally used to keep soil from eroding and sliding into your yard, you will need to decide on the best material for your retaining wall for it to be effective and complementary to the rest of your yard.

Testimonials

We are so impressed by New Life Rockeries! We’ve worked with a LOT of different contractors over the past few years trying to turn a fixer upper into our home and NLR is easily the best company we’ve worked with. Alonso and his team aren’t just hardworking and meticulous, they are artists who transformed our front yard. You can tell that they really care about their work and each other. Alonso would come by a couple of times a week to chat with us, help out the crew if needed, and make sure they had everything they needed. Bobby, who gave us the estimate, also checked in with us. He did everything he could to keep the price within our budget, even after a few changes to the design. The craftsmanship that’s gone into these walls is one of a kind. Thank you so much NLR!!

New Life Rockeries was so easy to work with on every step of the process. They heard our hopes/goals, provided awesome professional feedback to make it even better than our hopes, and got the job done! They started sooner than we expected, were very detailed focused (since I’m working form home I’d spy a little and was impressed by how they would spend the time to get each stone perfect), and they came in under budget! This was not a little project either, they leveled a weird hill we had, moved an old rock wall (even built a new rock wall with the old stones to another part of the yard that needed), and built a beautiful new patio and retaining wall with a built-in bench. Can’t recommend them enough and will get more projects done by them in the future! *In the photos you will see a concrete wall, they did not do that ugly thing. That is getting covered by a fence that will sit on-top of the lovely wall New Life built.

Absolutely fantastic. We had the New Life team replace our failing retaining wall and make some steps from our front to back yard and an area for a fire pit. They stabilized our wall despite torrential rain while they were working. Their work was surgically precise and our neighbors were also really happy. 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!!

Types of Rock Retaining Walls

At New Life Rockeries, our team of landscape experts typically use one of three kinds of rocks to create our beautiful and long-lasting retaining walls.

One Man Half Man Rock

One man or half man rocks are generally used for smaller retaining walls. The definition of one man and half man rocks is what can be easily moved by an average man with the assistance of a crowbar.
If you are having a one-man or half man rock retaining wall installed in your yard we will still send out a large crew to your home so that the job can be done efficiently in a minimal amount of time.

Two to Three Man Rock

Two or three man rocks are those that need to be lifted and installed using a machine. To build a retaining wall using two or three man rocks, you will need at least three guys to adequately operate the machinery necessary for the job.
There will be one guy on the ground, one guy driving the truck for materials, and one guy operating the lifting machine.

Boulders

Boulders are best used throughout your yard as a focal point or accent, rather than using them for a rock wall. Boulders possess rounder edges and a smoother surface, making them less practical for building rock walls. Boulders can still be used for their decorative qualities around your landscape.

Materials Used in Our Rockeries

At New Life Rockeries, we have a team of skilled landscape experts who will analyze the specific layout of your yard and come up with a rockery design best suited to match your aesthetic and practical needs.
This selection of materials gives us the ability to further tailor our rockery designs to match your home and yard. Here is a brief description of the different kinds of materials we use:

Stone Options

Because of the versatility of stone in both color and size, this material is an incredible choice and is in high demand among many homeowners. Some of the most popular stones used in rockeries, water features or retaining walls are granite, sandstone, basalt, and limestone.

Plant Options

Plants have a way of adding vibrancy to any space and can increase the overall aesthetic appeal of your rockery greatly. By mixing plants with your rock or stone you will add color, texture, and life to your rockery or retaining wall. Make sure that you select plants that will thrive in your yard and climate. Things that can affect what plants you should choose are factors like temperature, shade, and soil.

Water Features

Along with rock gardens and rock retaining walls, water features are also an excellent way to add beauty to your landscape. Water features can be designed as simple ponds, calm pools, lively fountains, or flowing waterfalls.
Rock water features can enhance the artistry of your yard and help with cohesivity and design. Deciding where to place your water feature can add greatly to the overall aesthetic of your landscape and really adds the final touches to your yard.
