Retaining Walls, Natural Stone and Block in Delafield, WI

Taller walls on Kettle Moraine hillsides need reinforcement built in.

The grade change on Delafield lots often pushes a wall past the height where block alone will hold. Geogrid and a proper bench go in at build time, because there is no adding them later.

  • Geogrid layers set as the wall goes up
  • Bench cut back into the hill before the base course

  • Compacted leveling pad set below finish grade
  • Block or natural stone laid to line and batter
  • Clear stone backfill and drain outlet
  • Geogrid reinforcement where wall height calls for it
  • Caps, steps and topsoil restoration
FAQ

Retaining Walls in Delafield

Can you rebuild a wall that is already leaning?

Usually. We take it apart, find out why it moved (almost always base or drainage), fix that and rebuild. Sometimes the existing stone can be reused.

How tall can a wall be?

Height limits and permit requirements vary by municipality, and taller walls need reinforcement. We tell you at the estimate what your wall needs.
