We are so pleased with the results of our landscaping project thanks to Solid Ground Hardscaping & Landscaping. They are true professionals who take pride in their workmanship unlike most of the contractors we've worked with. We had a muddy area on the side of our house and they installed a French drain and so far after 8 months it works awesome!

Benefits of having a retaining wall installed:

Structural Protection: A professionally built retaining wall prevents soil erosion and protects your foundation by managing water runoff and controlling sloped terrain around your property.
Usable Space: Transform unusable sloped areas into valuable flat surfaces for gardens, patios, or play areas—effectively expanding your property's functional square footage.
Property Value: Well-designed retaining walls enhance curb appeal while solving practical problems, potentially increasing your home's market value by addressing structural issues buyers would otherwise flag.
Environmental Benefits: Properly engineered retaining walls reduce soil erosion, prevent runoff pollution, and create opportunities for tiered plantings that support local ecosystems.
Aesthetic Enhancement: Beyond their practical function, today's retaining walls come in beautiful materials and designs that serve as distinctive landscape features, adding character and definition to your outdoor space.
