Retaining Walls That Actually Solve the Grade Problem

Retaining walls do more than look good—they hold back pressure, stabilize slopes, and recover usable space on difficult lots. TruScape builds retaining walls with proper base prep, drainage behind the wall, and layout planning that fits the grade and load requirements.

We install retaining walls for residential and commercial properties throughout Westmoreland County, including Greensburg, Irwin, North Huntingdon, Latrobe, and surrounding areas.

Common Retaining Wall Projects

Slope Stabilization

Control soil movement and prevent washouts on steep side yards and rear grades.

Failing Wall Replacements

Replace leaning or collapsed walls with properly engineered, drained systems.

Usable Space Creation

Convert sloped areas into functional lawn, planting, or access zones.

Drainage + Grade Correction

Pair walls with drainage systems to reduce hydrostatic pressure and extend wall life.

Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

1) Site Evaluation & Layout

We review grade change, wall height targets, drainage patterns, and access before finalizing layout.

2) Excavation & Compacted Base

We build a stable aggregate base and verify proper leveling—critical for long-term wall performance.

3) Block Installation & Reinforcement

We install retaining wall units with consistent batter and structural reinforcement where required.

4) Drainage Backfill & Restoration

Drain stone and outlet planning are installed behind the wall, followed by grade restoration and finish work.

Boulder Walls vs CMU Retaining Walls

Both systems can perform well when installed correctly, but they serve different project goals. We help you choose based on wall height, available space, look, and long-term maintenance expectations.

Natural Boulder Walls

• Natural, rustic look for landscape-forward projects
• Great for lower walls and broad, organic layouts
• Can require more footprint due to stone size and batter
• Excellent aesthetic blend with planting beds and slopes

CMU / Segmental Block Walls

• Clean, architectural appearance with precise lines
• Efficient for tighter spaces and higher structural demands
• Engineered systems with reinforcement options
• Strong choice for commercial sites and formal hardscapes

If your site has heavy runoff or pressure concerns, we often pair either wall type withdrainage correction to protect long-term wall performance.

Retaining Wall FAQs

How do I know if my wall needs replacement or just repair?▼

Signs like leaning, bulging sections, major separation, and repeated drainage failures usually indicate structural rebuild is the safer long-term option.

Do retaining walls always need drainage behind them?▼

Yes, proper drainage is one of the most important components of retaining wall longevity. Without it, hydrostatic pressure can cause movement and failure.

Can you combine wall installation with lawn restoration?▼

Absolutely. Many retaining projects include finish grading, sod installation, or hydroseeding so the final site looks complete.
