A new stone wall to hold the grade off a Flower Mound foundation
This Flower Mound homeowner needed a retaining wall along the side of the house — the grade was sitting too high against the foundation, washing soil toward the home every time it rained and leaving no clean way to landscape the strip.
We built a new Millsap stone wall engineered for North Texas clay: a poured footing, level stone coursing, and drainage designed in so water moves away from the house instead of pooling against it. The result holds the grade back, protects the foundation, and turns an awkward strip into a tidy, usable planting bed.

Free on-site assessment
Nathan came out to Flower Mound within a day to check the grade, drainage, and how water was moving against the house.

Engineered footing
A poured footing sized for North Texas clay gives the new wall a base that won’t shift with the seasons.
Millsap stone construction
Built in Millsap stone with weep holes designed in, so water drains through instead of building up behind it.
Backfill & bed prep
Compacted backfill behind the wall and a clean, level planting bed in front.
Final grade & clean-up
Graded so water runs away from the foundation, and the site left spotless.

Engineered for North Texas clay soil
The reason so many retaining walls fail across the DFW metroplex comes down to one thing: expansive clay soil. Much of North Texas sits on the Blackland Prairie clays, which swell when it rains and shrink as they dry out in the Texas heat. That endless swell-and-shrink cycle puts enormous lateral pressure on any wall holding soil back.
Timber and railroad-tie walls simply aren’t built for it — the wood rots at the base, the ties bow, and the wall leans until it fails. A properly engineered stone wall solves it three ways:
- A poured footing sized for the soil load, so the wall has a stable base that resists shifting.
- Weep holes and drainage built into the wall, so water moves through instead of building up behind it.
- Millsap stone over a solid core — a material that holds up to Texas weather and complements North Texas homes.
Done right, the wall doesn’t just hold back soil — it protects the foundation, controls erosion, and turns an unusable slope into level, usable yard.

★★★★★From start to finish, Nathan and his team were fantastic. Nathan explained everything and kept us in the loop. As our wall was being built, our yard was kept tidy and the crew was extremely courteous. Clean-up was impeccable — our new retaining wall is even better than we thought it could be, and our yard has been completely transformed.
