“Detroit Retaining Wall built a beautiful natural stone retaining wall along our backyard slope, and it completely stopped the erosion we were dealing with. The crew of three worked efficiently over a week and left the site cleaner than when they started. Best investment we've made for the property.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“I was nervous about having someone work on my yard, but these guys knew exactly what they were doing with the large stone wall they installed. The transformation from that eroded mess to a solid, professional-looking wall is honestly amazing. They finished two days ahead of schedule which was a nice surprise.”
Boulder & Natural Stone Walls
“Our old concrete block retaining wall was cracking and leaning pretty bad, so we called Detroit Retaining Wall to replace it. They took out the old one and installed a new segmental block wall that looks great and is actually level now. Really professional crew and they cleaned up all the debris.”
Block & Segmental Retaining Walls
“Had serious drainage and erosion issues on our property from heavy rain runoff. Detroit Retaining Wall designed and installed a slope stabilization system with proper drainage that's already making a huge difference. The team explained everything clearly and answered all my questions.”
Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control
“Our timber retaining wall in the backyard was starting to rot and shift. Instead of replacing the whole thing, Detroit Retaining Wall assessed it and did a targeted repair that brought it back to solid condition. Cost way less than a full replacement and it's holding up great.”
Retaining Wall Repair
“The retaining wall on our property was leaning so bad I thought it was going to come down. Detroit Retaining Wall came out, stabilized it, and fixed the underlying issues. They explained that poor drainage was the main culprit and installed a system to prevent it from happening again. Really thorough work.”

| Service | Starting from | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Retaining Wall Installation | From $30/sq ft | Design and construction of new retaining walls for driveway ramps, sunken patios, ravine-edge yards and terraced gardens, built with footings below the frost line, gravel backfill and drainage for long-term stability in heavy clay. |
| Retaining Wall Repair | From $1,500 | Repair of leaning, bowing, cracked, or heaving retaining walls, from drainage correction and tieback anchors to partial rebuilds that stop freeze-thaw and clay pressure damage before it becomes collapse. |
| Retaining Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Full tear-out and replacement of failed or end-of-life walls, including rotting railroad tie and landscape timber walls, with demolition, haul-away, new drainage, and modern engineered materials. |
| Concrete Retaining Walls | From $35/sq ft | Poured concrete and reinforced CMU block retaining walls with frost-depth footings, rebar, and weep holes, the strongest option for driveway ramps, below-grade garages, and tight city lots. |
| Block & Segmental Retaining Walls | From $25/sq ft | Segmental retaining walls (SRW) in Allan Block, Versa-Lok, and Keystone systems: mortarless engineered block with geogrid reinforcement, ideal for terraces, curves, and garden walls that flex through freeze-thaw. |
| Boulder & Natural Stone Walls | From $25/sq ft | Boulder and Michigan fieldstone retaining walls that blend into ravine and lakeside landscaping, with machine-placed rock construction, proper base preparation and drainage for a natural, durable finish. |

| Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control | Free estimate | Slope and ravine bank stabilization with terraced retaining walls, geogrid reinforcement, and erosion control, protecting homes, driveways, and yards on river bluffs, ravine lots and graded hillsides. |
| Retaining Wall Drainage | From $2,500 | Drainage systems that make walls last: French drains, weep holes, gravel backfill, and waterproofing that relieve hydrostatic pressure in slow-draining clay, the number one cause of retaining wall failure. |
| Railroad Tie Wall Replacement | From $35/sq ft | Removal and replacement of aging railroad tie and landscape timber retaining walls from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, with creosote-treated tie demolition and haul-away, new gravel backfill and drainage, and a rebuild in segmental block, concrete, or natural stone. |
| Leaning & Collapsed Wall Repair | From $2,500 | Priority response for leaning, bulging, and collapsed retaining walls, with stabilization by tieback anchors, drainage correction to relieve pressure from saturated clay, and partial or full rebuilds when a wall is past saving. |
