About Our Retaining Walls
Sloped, uneven yards are common on Prescott's terrain. A well-engineered retaining wall stops erosion, creates level, usable space, and adds structure to your landscape. R.E. and Sons Landscaping designs and builds retaining walls for Prescott homeowners dealing with drainage issues, sloped lots, or who want to expand their usable yard space.
From a simple garden wall to a full tiered retaining wall system supporting a patio or driveway, we design and build walls that hold.
Who It's For
Retaining walls make the most sense for homeowners with sloped or eroding yards, drainage problems, or who want to create level terraces for patios, gardens, or additional yard space.

Final walkthrough
Why a Retaining Wall Is Worth the Investment
Reclaims Usable Yard Space
A properly built wall turns unusable slope into level, functional space for patios, gardens, or play areas.
Completely Custom to Your Space
No two walls we build are identical. Yours will be engineered around the exact grade and layout of your property.
Built to Last
We engineer for load, drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles so your wall holds for the long term. No bowing, no shifting, no failure.
Solves Drainage and Erosion Problems
Proper drainage design behind the wall prevents water buildup, soil erosion, and long-term damage to your yard.
High Return on Investment
Retaining walls solve real problems for buyers, and a well-built wall is recognized as a lasting improvement.
Year-Round Stability
Engineered for Prescott's soil and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, so performance doesn't degrade over time.
Retaining Wall FAQs
How much does a retaining wall cost in Prescott, AZ?
Retaining wall pricing varies based on height, length, materials, and site access. A short garden wall starts considerably lower than a tall, engineered structural wall. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after the free consultation.
Do I need a permit or engineering for a retaining wall?
Walls above a certain height, or those supporting structures like patios or driveways, typically require engineering and permits. We handle this process as part of our project management.
What materials work best for retaining walls in Arizona?
Segmental block, natural stone, and boulders are the top choices in Prescott. Each has different aesthetics, cost, and maintenance considerations. We'll recommend options based on your design and budget.
How do retaining walls handle drainage?
We install drainage aggregate, gravel backfill, and drain pipe behind every wall to relieve water pressure and prevent failure over time.
Can a retaining wall support a patio or driveway above it?
Yes. Structural walls supporting hardscape or vehicle loads require additional engineering, which we account for in the design phase.
How long does the project take?
Most retaining wall projects take one to three weeks from start to finish, depending on wall height, length, and permitting requirements.
