Engineered retaining and seating walls that tame slopes and stop erosion.
Schertz sits in Guadalupe County where the landscape rolls and the soil is black clay that swells and shrinks every season-exactly the conditions that make retaining walls essential. Those fast-growing master-planned neighborhoods along I-35 and FM 78, like The Crossvine and Ashley Park, often sit on slopes where water flows hard during Hill Country rains. Without proper walls and drainage, that blackland clay moves, foundations shift, and yards erode.
We build engineered retaining walls that do the real work: they tame slopes, control water runoff, and hold your soil stable year-round. Whether it's a block wall to level a yard, natural stone terracing, or boulder walls for seating, we start with a proper site assessment. Schertz soil and drainage are different from Austin or San Antonio, and we know how to build here.
Free on-site estimates take about 48 hours to schedule. We're licensed, insured, and family-built. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to talk about what your lot needs.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Schertz property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and retaining walls that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
You need a retaining wall when a slope is eroding, you want to level a yard for usable space, or you need to manage water and grade changes around a patio or foundation. Retaining walls are common on the rocky, hilly lots throughout Central Texas.
As a general rule, retaining walls taller than about 4 feet, or walls holding back heavy loads, require engineering and often a permit in Central Texas. We build to code, with proper base and drainage, and bring in engineering when a project calls for it.
Guadalupe County terrain is naturally rolling, and those seasonal rains hit hard. Schertz's blackland clay swells when wet and shrinks as it dries, which puts pressure on slopes and causes erosion fast. A retaining wall with proper base and backfill drainage stops the damage before it starts.
Cost depends on wall height, length, material (block, stone, or boulder), and site conditions. The only way to know is a free on-site estimate where we look at your slope, soil, and drainage needs. Call (737) 404-9343 and we'll schedule a walk through your property.
Yes. Steep lots in Ashley Park and Forest Ridge often need terraced walls-multiple tiers that make the grade safer and actually look good. We design each one for your specific slope and Schertz soil conditions so it holds solid for decades.
A retaining wall holds back soil on a slope; a seating wall is lower and built mainly for sitting. Both need proper drainage and base. We often combine them-a retaining wall on the upper slope with a seating bench below, turning a problem grade into outdoor living space.
A well-built wall with proper drainage lasts 20 years or longer. Schertz's freeze-thaw cycles and clay soil movement are tough, but engineered base, good backfill, and the right material choice matter most. We size everything for this region's weather and soil behavior.
