Featured Project – Retaining Walls in Wildwood, MO

Location: Wildwood, MO

Construction of new, modular-block retaining wall

  • Stone walls needed to be built to replace a failing railroad-tie retaining wall.
  • Terraced walls were used to provide better erosion control and to help sustain the driveway and hillside
  • The walls also add beauty and texture to the hillside above the pool and the house.
  • The terraced design opened up new areas for planting.
  • It solved a major drainage issue that prohibited the homeowner from using the pool and part of the driveway.
  • The wall was engineered & built according to St. Louis County expectations and has been signed off as complete and structurally sound.
