Retaining Walls
Struggling with sloped or uneven terrain on your property? Looking to boost your landscape’s function and appearance at the same time? Steele Blades specializes in custom retaining walls in Louisville, KY—designed to add structure, prevent erosion, and enhance the beauty of your outdoor space. Whether you need a small garden wall or a large engineered solution, we’ve got the skills and experience to get the job done right.
Our Process
We make the retaining wall process simple and stress-free from start to finish:
Consultation – We evaluate your property and discuss your needs, whether they’re structural, decorative, or both.
Design & Planning – We develop a custom layout, recommend materials, and make sure everything complies with local codes and best practices.
Excavation & Prep – We dig and grade the site to prepare for a strong, stable foundation.
Construction – We build the wall with precision, layering in drainage materials and reinforcements where needed.
Finishing Touches – We backfill, compact, clean up, and walk through the completed project with you to ensure satisfaction.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build
No two properties are the same, and neither are the walls we build. We offer a variety of materials and styles to match your needs and preferences:
Segmental Block Walls – A popular and durable choice, these interlocking concrete blocks are great for both residential and commercial applications. They’re strong, attractive, and available in a wide range of colors and textures.
Natural Stone Walls – For a more rustic or traditional look, we build walls from limestone, fieldstone, or other locally sourced natural materials. These add timeless beauty to gardens, patios, and outdoor living areas.
Timber Walls – Wood retaining walls are a budget-friendly and charming option for smaller applications. Pressure-treated lumber ensures lasting strength and stability.
Boulder Walls – Using large natural boulders, we create walls with an organic, earthy look. Great for informal spaces or properties with a rugged feel.
Engineered Retaining Walls – For taller or load-bearing walls, we offer fully engineered solutions that include geogrid reinforcement, drainage layers, and compacted backfill to ensure maximum strength and safety.
