A retaining wall holds back a slope or soil load and needs drainage and engineering. Garden and border walls are decorative, above-ground walls (up to about 18 inches) that frame beds and define spaces — no drainage system required. We build both; this page is about our garden and border walls.

Garden and border walls are built above ground up to about 18 inches — enough to frame a planting bed, edge a patio, or define a space. Anything taller, or anything holding back a slope, becomes a retaining wall.

Every layer is bonded with proper construction adhesive, so the wall becomes one solid unit instead of loose stacked blocks that can shift or separate over time.

Garden walls are perfect for raised planting beds, bed and border edging, separating areas of the yard, and adding clean lines and structure to an otherwise flat space.

Cost depends on the length, height, and block you choose. We provide a transparent, itemized estimate during your free in-home consultation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.

We build garden and border walls across Washington and Oregon, including Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, Portland, Vancouver, and the surrounding communities.
