Retaining Walls We Have Built in Denton
Real Denton properties, not stock photography.
Retaining Wall Work We Do in Denton
Cross-tie and timber replacement
Rotted ties out, engineered stone in, with the drainage the original wall never had.
Steps and integrated access
Stone stairs built into the wall line, so a slope stays usable.
Fence-line walls
Holding a grade change under a fence, so the fence is not doing structural work it was never built for.
Foundation protection
Where runoff is moving soil toward the house, the wall is part of a drainage fix.
What Denton Ground Does to a Wall
Older core, newer edges
In the established neighborhoods it is usually replacement; on the newer edges it is more often a new structural wall on a graded lot.
Sand over clay
The Cross Timbers band runs right through Denton County. Water passes through the sandy layer and sits on the clay, loading the wall.
Slopes toward the lake
Land falling toward Lake Lewisville carries real grade, and walls there are holding more than they look like they are.

Denton Retaining Wall Questions
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Denton?
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 Denton 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 Denton?
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 Denton?
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 Denton?
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 Denton?
Yes. We cover Denton and the communities next to it, including Corinth, Argyle and Justin, 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.
Denton and the Communities Around It
We build and replace retaining walls throughout Denton 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.
