University Park/Retaining Walls
Retaining Wall Installation in University Park
Retaining walls built to hold grade change on the compact, tree-lined lots around Volk Estates and Caruth Hills, finished in stone that matches the rest of the yard.
Serving University Park since 2004· Licensed & insured · Free on-site estimates

A lot of University Park lots have some grade change between the house, the pool, and the street, and a retaining wall is what holds that change in place without eating into an already tight yard. We build walls that do the structural job first, then finish them to look intentional.
Near Volk Estates and Caruth Hills, mature trees and established landscaping mean a wall often has to work around root systems and existing grading. We plan the footing to fit that ground so it holds.
We build the wall with proper drainage behind it, since a wall that traps water is a wall that fails early, then set stone veneer or natural stone to match your patio, pool coping, or outdoor kitchen facade.
On a tear down rebuild, a retaining wall is often part of the initial grading plan, and we coordinate the stonework once the grade is set.

“Lalo came out himself to look at our coping. Didn't try to upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Just told us what needed fixing and gave us a fair price.”
Homeowner, Fort Worth TX
“Had another company do our tile and it started falling off after one summer. Lalo's crew came in, tore it out, and redid the whole thing. Should have called them first.”
