Retaining Walls

Retaining Wall Specialists

Retaining Walls Built Right

Expert installation across Washington and Oregon. 17-Year Craftsmanship Warranty on every wall.

Built to Last

Built to Hold. Designed to Last.

Retaining walls do more than hold back soil. They prevent erosion, improve drainage, create flat usable space on sloped terrain, and add real value to your property. Done right, they last decades. Done wrong, they lean, crack, and fail within years.

Sta-Built builds every wall the right way: compacted crushed rock base, drain pipe and drain rock, geo-grid reinforcement on taller walls, and block installation per manufacturer specs. We use natural stone, concrete block, and interlocking pavers selected for your property and budget. Every installation is backed by our 17-Year Craftsmanship Warranty.

Our Installation Process

We Build It Right. Every Time.

Every Sta-Built retaining wall follows the same proven process. No shortcuts.

Sta-Built retaining wall installation process
1

Crushed Rock Base

We start with a compacted crushed rock base. Most contractors skip this step. We don’t.

2

Drain Pipe and Drain Rock

Every wall gets a drain pipe and drain rock behind it. Hydrostatic pressure from PNW rain is the number one reason walls fail.

3

Block Installation Per Manufacturer Specs

Each course is leveled and locked per manufacturer guidelines. Consistent, structural, built to last.

4

Geo-Grid Reinforcement for Walls Over 3 Ft

Taller walls get geo-grid layers between courses to distribute load and increase structural integrity.

Happy Customers

Real Homeowners, Real Stories

Here’s what homeowners have to say about Sta-Built.

“They built a three tiered retaining wall with steps at the base of over 1,000 sq ft of pavers. Armindo and his crew were clearly experienced and worked very hard every single day with a positive, can-do attitude. Attention to detail was evident throughout. We would definitely hire Sta-Built again.”

Catherine C. – Olympia, WA

“We’ve had 2 very large retaining walls installed and have nothing short of excellent customer service. When equipment needed maintenance, the crew was outside hand-digging to ensure the job got done on time. They stand by their warranty and fixed our first wall to ensure its integrity. I would 1000% use them again.”

Alena W. – Olympia, WA

“The retaining wall with built-in seating, lighting, and steps are fantastic. They exceeded our expectations. Mark and the entire crew were professional, clean, and communicative from start to finish. This is exactly what we envisioned.”

Brian M. – Lynnwood, WA
