Retaining Walls Denver 

Stone retaining walls are usually dry stacked and made from natural stones that will enhance any landscaping project in Denver because stone walls work so well with our natural surroundings which would include any landscape design in Denver, so they are among the most common retaining walls we do and there are plenty of choices when it comes to the types of stone we use.

Stone Retaining Walls are also a great choice because they allow water to flow in around and through the retaining wall, and this makes natural stones the perfect choice when landscape designs involve different elevations as they usually do in Denver and the need to allow water to keep moving, and natural stone retaining walls always win points with any project that calls for Green construction methods.

Natural stone Retaining walls are usually quarried stone like granite and different kinds of limestone that will offer you all kinds of colors and textures to meet the needs of any project.

Granite is the most popular stone we use for large retaining walls; it’s heavier than limestone and this is always important whenever a retaining wall must retain an extremely heavy load which is always the case in Denver and the surrounding areas where the land really starts going up and down.

Limestone is not as heavy as Granite and it’s lighter in color. Chilton limestone has beautiful blue and red tints, and Fond du lac is almost white in color so as you can see there’s a lot of colors to choose from, and limestone is used quite a bit because it’s less expensive than granite which makes it very popular with our customers.

Concrete Block retaining walls come in almost endless patterns, colors, and sizes to choose from because they’re man made. Concrete retaining wall blocks are made from concrete so they’re less expensive choices for retaining walls than limestone or granite.

Brick retaining walls are very common and because brick has mortar at all the joints, and must me laid in very straight lines it’s a more expensive retaining wall. Brick retaining walls are usually a veneer; first the wall is built from concrete block and then the brick is mortared to the existing block wall using brick ties that make sure they stay in place against the retaining wall.

Interlocking stone retaining walls: are versatile, durable, and beautiful, and they also come in an endless selection of patterns and colors, as well as custom colors for larger orders.

Dry stack stone retaining walls: are very popular with many natural stones to choose from. Fieldstone is very popular and comes in different sizes so the stone size is determined by the height of the retaining wall.

Mortared Stone retaining walls: Is one of the most expensive types of retaining walls. Natural stones are used here and the stone might be naturally formed stones that are quarried stone and therefore more expensive, but are probably among the most beautiful of all retaining walls.
