Jeff's Nickel's Worth of Free Advice
Measure twice, get materials delivered once
We sometimes use bulk bags of 1-inch paver base for delivery that can cover for weather
Consider delivered bags of paver base for smaller projects
Plan for final grade and seed/straw on first job order
Consider keeping landscape block glue inside so it does not get too hot or too cold, or pick it up when needed
Benefits of a Well-Built Retaining Wall
Prevents Soil Erosion
Helps stop hillside washout during heavy St. Louis rains and spring thaws.
Creates Usable Space
Turns sloped or uneven yards into flat areas for gardens, play zones, seating, or patios.
Improves Drainage
Directs water away from your home's foundation and helps reduce basement flooding risk in clay-heavy soils.
Boosts Property Value
Adds attractive hardscaping that complements St. Louis homes.
Long-Term Durability
Properly installed walls withstand Missouri freeze-thaw cycles and last decades with minimal upkeep.
Recommended Materials for St. Louis Climate
Concrete Blocks
Our top choice for most projects. Interlocking blocks are strong, come in many colors and textures, require low maintenance, and offer good resistance to shifting in freeze-thaw conditions.
Natural Stone
A timeless, natural look that is durable and unique. We especially love using local Missouri stone.
Other Options
Poured concrete for maximum strength or timber for a rustic feel, though less ideal for wet climates unless treated properly.
*We use quality materials and proper base preparation, compacted gravel, and drainage to ensure your wall stands strong and avoids common failures.
