Expert Retaining Wall Contractors Serving Everett, Washington
Everett's terrain is defined by its position on a bluff above Puget Sound, with the city's older neighborhoods stepping down from the upland plateau toward the waterfront in a series of steep slopes and ravines. This topography, combined with Everett's marine climate and the glacial till soils that underlie most of Snohomish County, creates demanding conditions for retaining wall construction. New Life Rockeries has been building retaining walls in Everett since 1975, and we've worked on properties throughout the city — from the bluff neighborhoods above the waterfront to the newer developments in south Everett.
Everett's proximity to Puget Sound means that the city receives significant rainfall — over 35 inches annually — and the marine influence keeps temperatures mild enough that freeze-thaw cycling is less of a concern than in inland areas. The primary challenge for Everett retaining walls is hydrostatic pressure: Everett's glacial till soils are dense and poorly draining, and water that builds up behind a wall during the wet season can generate enormous lateral forces. Every wall we build in Everett includes a gravel drainage column, a perforated drain pipe at the footing, and a daylight drain to carry water away from the wall face.
The City of Everett requires permits for retaining walls over 4 feet in height, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall. Walls in the city's designated steep slope and geologically hazardous areas — which cover significant portions of the bluff neighborhoods — require additional geotechnical review. We manage the permit process on your behalf and have experience with Everett's plan review requirements.
We've completed retaining wall projects throughout Everett's diverse neighborhoods — natural stone rockeries in the historic bluff neighborhoods, engineered block systems in south Everett, and combination systems on the steep properties above the waterfront. Whatever your Everett property requires, we have the experience to do it right.

What We Build
Natural Stone Retaining Walls
Hand-placed granite, basalt, and sandstone walls that blend naturally with Everett's Pacific Northwest landscape. Each stone is selected and placed for both structural integrity and visual harmony.
Boulder Retaining Walls
Large-format boulder walls for significant grade changes and slope stabilization in Everett. We use machinery to place 2–4 man boulders precisely, creating walls that are both massive and refined.
Terraced Retaining Walls
Multi-level terracing systems that transform steep, unusable slopes in Everett into beautiful, functional outdoor spaces. Ideal for creating garden beds, lawn areas, and outdoor living zones.
Rock Gardens & Slope Planting
Natural rock garden installations that combine structural stone placement with native Pacific Northwest plants. Perfect for Everett slopes where a formal wall would look out of place.
Retaining Wall Repair
Assessment and repair of failing or damaged retaining walls in Everett. We diagnose the root cause — typically drainage failure or inadequate foundation — and rebuild to last.
Drainage Integration
Every retaining wall we build in Everett includes a properly engineered drainage system. French drains, perforated pipe, and gravel backfill prevent hydrostatic pressure — the primary cause of wall failure.
