Professional Retaining Wall Construction for Star Properties

Retaining walls are essential landscape structures that solve multiple problems while dramatically improving property aesthetics and usability throughout the Treasure Valley. Our professional retaining wall construction service transforms sloped, unusable yards into terraced gardens, level patios, and stunning multi-dimensional landscapes while preventing erosion and protecting your investment. Idaho properties, particularly those in newer developments in Kuna, Meridian, Eagle, and the Boise foothills, often feature challenging slopes that limit yard usability and create drainage problems during spring runoff and heavy rains.

A properly engineered retaining wall system converts these problematic slopes into valuable, functional outdoor living spaces. We specialize in custom retaining wall design and installation using the highest quality materials suited to Idaho's unique climate challenges including freeze-thaw cycles, clay soil expansion, and seismic considerations. Our team handles everything from initial site evaluation and engineering through final construction and landscaping integration.

We work with premium interlocking concrete block systems like Allan Block, Versa-Lok, and Keystone that offer exceptional strength, longevity, and design flexibility. For clients seeking natural aesthetics, we build stunning stacked stone walls using Idaho quartzite, basalt, and other regional materials that blend beautifully with Treasure Valley landscapes. Each wall we construct features critical engineering elements often overlooked by less experienced contractors: proper base excavation and compaction (typically 6-8 inches of crushed gravel), drainage systems with perforated pipe and drain rock to relieve water pressure, appropriate wall batter (setback) for stability, geogrid reinforcement when needed for taller walls, and quality backfill compacted in lifts to prevent settling.

Star properties face unique challenges due to Hot, dry summers and cold winters typical of Treasure Valley. USDA Zone 6b. and Clay soil dominant, requiring regular aeration and amendments..

Our team has extensive experience serving Star homeowners and understands what it takes to achieve great results in this area.

How Our Retaining Wall Construction Process Works

Our streamlined process ensures quality results for every Star property

1
Site Evaluation & Design

We assess slope, soil type, drainage patterns, and intended use. Design is created considering wall height, length, material options, and building codes. Permits are identified if needed.

2
Excavation & Base Preparation

Area is excavated to proper depth. A compacted gravel base (6-8 inches minimum) is installed to provide drainage and stability - critical for Idaho's freeze-thaw cycles.

3
First Course Installation

The first row of blocks or stones is set perfectly level on the base. This critical step determines the quality of the entire wall.

4
Wall Construction

Subsequent courses are installed with proper setback (typically 3/4 inch per foot of height). Drainage pipe and gravel backfill are installed behind wall as construction progresses.

5
Capping & Finishing

Cap blocks are glued in place for a finished look. Backfill is compacted in lifts behind the wall. Any disturbed areas are graded and prepared for planting.

6
Final Grading & Cleanup

Final grading ensures proper drainage away from wall. Site is cleaned of all construction debris. You receive care instructions and warranty information.
