MARYSVILLE RETAINING WALLS

Retaining walls are designed to improve the functionality of your yard while adding to the aesthetic design of your property. A retaining wall will prevent soil from eroding and spilling over into your yard while also regulating water flow to prevent water damage.
Each yard and house are different and because of this, it is crucial that you have a landscape professional assess and design your rock wall so that you have the most functional retaining wall for your Marysville home.

Here at New Life Rockeries in Marysville, we have a team of trained landscape experts who will take your yard’s layout into account as well as your specific design preferences in order to build you the perfect retaining wall for your Marysville home.
We use only the highest quality materials for all of our retaining walls and would be more than happy to help you improve the functionality of your yard with a rock wall.

Marysville Retaining Wall Installations

The purpose of retaining wall contractors depends on your specific needs. Depending on the purpose of your retaining wall or your aesthetic preferences, your landscape contractor experts may recommend different materials for building the rock wall.
New Life Rockeries uses local rocks from Washington based quarries to build our retaining walls. We are very familiar with our local material providers and are able to secure resources that are both beautiful and affordable.
Each quarry provider has its own unique rocks — meaning that it is impossible to replicate your rock wall using rocks from a separate quarry. This ensures that each retaining wall we build has its own unique look and compliments your yard perfectly.

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 ghostwriting. 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!!

Marysville Retaining Wall Sizes

Your yard and house style are a big determining factor into what types of rocks should be used to build your retaining wall. Different rock styles, as well as sizes, can be used to achieve different aesthetic goals. Below are listed some of the most common rock sizes for retaining walls and their advantages.

Half Man and One Man

Half man and one man rocks stand about four feet tall and are typically used to build small retaining walls. These rocks will be used to lay the foundation of your retaining wall with smaller rocks being used to create your wall’s top layer.
The cost of installation for half and one man rock walls tends to be more expensive than some other retaining walls since they generally require more manual labor to install.

Two Man and Three Man

These are the most common rock sizes used to create retaining walls. They are easy to move with machinery and are versatile enough to be used in a range of different wall styles. A two man or three man rock retaining wall generally takes less time to build than half or one man rock walls, making it a more affordable option.

Boulders

Boulders are typically used as accents throughout a landscape and not used to build retaining walls. Because of their smooth surfaces, round edges, and varying size and shape, boulders are able to compliment any landscape style.
Boulders can be placed strategically throughout your yard to add character, texture, and design.
