Retaining Walls We Have Built in The Colony
Real The Colony properties, not stock photography.
Retaining Wall Work We Do in The Colony
Driveway and front-yard walls
Street-facing work where the stone has to look right as well as hold.
Foundation protection
Where runoff is moving soil toward the house, the wall is part of a drainage fix.
Rebuilding a leaning wall
Where a wall is bulging or pulling apart, we deal with the water behind it rather than re-facing the symptom.
Cross-tie and timber replacement
Rotted ties out, engineered stone in, with the drainage the original wall never had.
What The Colony Ground Does to a Wall
Eighties walls, thirty years on
Timber and tie walls from the city’s build-out are failing now. Replacement with engineered stone is the standard job here.
Lakeside exposure
Lots toward the water carry grade and take weather off it. Those walls work harder than they look.
Sand over clay
Water passes through the sandy layer and stops at the clay, loading the wall from behind.

The Colony Retaining Wall Questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in The Colony?
It depends on the height of the wall and where it sits on your lot. Across DFW municipalities a wall over about four feet generally requires a permit and engineering, and lower walls often do not. We confirm what The Colony asks for on your specific wall and make the submittal ourselves. It is inside the quoted price, not billed on top of it.
How much does a retaining wall cost in The Colony?
Length, height, the stone you choose, how equipment reaches the site and whether a permit is needed all move the number. Most residential walls across Denton County land between a few thousand dollars and the low five figures. Nathan writes you a fixed figure for your wall after seeing it, not a range, and that figure is what you pay.
Why do retaining walls fail in The Colony?
Water, nearly every time. The ground here is Cross Timbers sand sitting on clay, so water runs through the top layer and stops dead at the layer beneath. That trapped water is what loads a wall from behind, and it is why drainage matters more here than stone selection does. Being this close to Lake Lewisville does not change the ground under your yard either. Most of the wall work here is replacement. The neighborhoods went in when timber and cross ties were standard, and those walls are at the end of their lives together.
Can you replace a rotting timber or cross-tie wall in The Colony?
Yes, and it is among the most common jobs we take on. Replacing a tie wall while it is still standing costs meaningfully less than clearing a collapsed one along with the soil that came down with it, and it lets us build the drainage in properly rather than working around a failure.
Do you work in the areas around The Colony?
Yes. We cover The Colony and the communities next to it, including Lewisville, Little Elm and Frisco, and Nathan travels to the site himself for both the quote and the build. If you are not sure whether you are inside the area, call and ask rather than guessing.
The Colony and the Communities Around It
We build and replace retaining walls throughout The Colony and the surrounding Denton County area, and Nathan travels to the site himself for the quote and the work.
Need a pool taken out rather than a wall built? That is a different job with different equipment, and it has its own page.
