“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
