Milsap Stone Retaining Wall and Backyard Expansion in Carrollton, TX
In Carrollton, Texas, this homeowner’s old cross tie retaining wall was showing its age—leaning in places and no longer providing the support their yard needed. They wanted a long-term solution that would improve both the function and look of their property. By replacing the wood wall with durable Milsap stone and moving the fence line out to meet the wall, we were able to extend their backyard and give them more usable space.
Removing the Old Wall and Preparing the Site
Our team started by dismantling the old wooden wall and removing all the debris from the property. Once the space was cleared, we stabilized the foundation to create a secure base for the new retaining wall. This step ensures that the structure will remain stable through years of Texas weather.
Building the New Milsap Stone Retaining Wall
We chose chopped Milsap stone for its combination of strength, weather resistance, and timeless appearance. Each stone was set in place by hand for a snug, secure fit.
After the wall was complete, we relocated the fence line to sit directly on top of the wall, which gave the homeowner several extra feet of yard space—perfect for gardening, play areas, or entertaining.
Benefits of This Upgrade
