Retaining Wall Design and Construction

Erosion doesn’t have to spell the end of your lawn. Excellence Landsacpesretaining walls have helped many other San Marcos residents add a little extra to their outdoor area, whether the decision is motivated by a need to preserve their lawn’s structural integrity or just add a bit of flare.

When properly constructed, a well-made retaining wall is a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing addition to many San Marcos yards and gardens. Whether you’re looking to preserve the integrity of your landscape or simply add a decorative feature, Excellence Landscapes has what you’re searching for.

Why Get a Retaining Wall?

There are a few different reasons why San Marcos homeowners may choose to get a retaining wall. Erosion is often a major deciding factor because a wall can stop soil movement in its path. If you live on a particularly steep plot of land or have been noticing soil creep recently, a retaining wall could be a good decision.

The other primary reason is purely decorative; there are a few different materials we usually use to build the wall, giving you plenty of opportunities to customize your new wall, creating something that is as beautiful as it is useful.

While the main functions of retaining walls are to prevent soil erosion and add aesthetic appeal to a landscape, they have additional benefits as well, including:

• Providing flood control
• Creating usable, flat space on your property
• Increasing property value

Which Wall is Right for You?

Depending on what you’re looking for, there are a few different types of retaining walls to choose from.

Wood is the most affordable option, so if you’re on a budget this is likely the best material for you. It is important to keep in mind that while its initial price tag is likely lower than for other materials, the lifespan is also significantly shorter, so you should factor in maintenance and replacement costs when deciding whether or not going with wood is the right decision.

For a more resilient wall, mortar is a good choice. In this case, materials like brick or stone are fused together, creating a structure that stands up to years of use. While a bit pricier, mortared walls are long-lasting and, because of the multitude of materials available, they offer countless opportunities for customization.

Segmented retaining walls are a third option offered by Excellence Landscapes. This type of wall uses bricks that are designed to fit together like puzzle pieces. Midway between the cost of a wooden wall and a mortared one, segmented retaining walls provide the durability of a pricier wall, while still being budget-friendly.

Upfront Cost Estimates on Retaining Wall Construction

A major consideration for constructing a retaining wall is, naturally, their cost. At our company, we’re happy to offer our clients upfront quotes on all our work so that they can decide in full confidence.

Prices vary depending on the landscape we’re working with, which is why Excellence Landscapes always performs a consultation before getting started. Book an appointment with us, and we’ll send a certified contractor to your property. We will thoroughly inspect the area and, based on factors like soil type, the wall’s projected dimensions, and the angle of the lawn, give you a fair cost estimate.

Nobody likes to be surprised by the bill once things are finished, so from the very start Excellence Landscapes is communicative about how much it will cost. Our cost estimates are always accurate and always transparent. You’ll be able to see the complete breakdown of all our material and labor costs before you commit to anything.
