Testimonials

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!!

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.

"We loved working with the team. They listened to our concerns, landscape issues, provided reasonable solutions that work and 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 everyday was part of their routine. We were kept informed every step of the way. We 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

The retaining wall blocks that you choose should match the environment and atmosphere of your home. Concrete blocks can come in a variety of shapes, structures, colors, and textures. Our experienced retaining wall service team here at New Life Rockeries will help you to select the best option for your structure as well as your atmosphere and design goals.

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.

What are the easiest walls to build?

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.
