Retaining Walls
Structural walls that hold the grade and shape your landscape.
Overview
Retaining Walls done right.
A retaining wall does serious structural work while shaping your landscape. RTJ builds engineered retaining walls, in natural stone and segmental block, with proper footings, drainage, and backfill so they hold the grade and stand straight for the long haul.
From garden terraces to walls that carve out usable yard space, we build for strength first and finish for beauty.
