Retaining Wall Services in Seattle

Lee’s General Landscaping builds custom retaining walls in Seattle to control erosion, manage slopes, and add beauty and function to your landscape.

Seattle Retaining Wall Installation

Built for Function. Designed to Last. Made to Look Good.

Hi, Mr. Lee here. If your yard has a slope, soft spots, or drainage issues, chances are a retaining wall can help. We install custom retaining walls for homes and commercial properties across Seattle—designed to stop erosion, manage runoff, and make your outdoor space more usable and good-looking.

Whether you’re trying to hold back soil or just give your garden a better shape, we build walls that stay strong and look sharp for years.


Why You Might Need a Retaining Wall

Seattle’s hilly terrain and rainy seasons can make landscaping tricky. Here’s what retaining walls help with:

  • Preventing Soil Erosion – Heavy rains can wash out soil. A retaining wall holds it in place.
  • Making Slopes More Usable – Create flat areas for patios, gardens, or play space.
  • Improving Drainage – Direct runoff safely and reduce soggy zones.
  • Enhancing Curb Appeal – Walls add structure, dimension, and beauty to your yard.
  • Increasing Property Value – A well-built wall adds real function and long-term value.

Material Options for Your Wall

We’ll help you pick a material that fits your budget, yard, and goals. Some of our most popular retaining wall builds use:

  • Concrete Blocks – Strong, clean lines, and easy to maintain
  • Natural Stone – Timeless and high-end (great for curb appeal)
  • Pressure-Treated Wood – Rustic charm and cost-effective
  • Boulders or Fieldstone – Big, bold, and built to blend into nature

We can also incorporate steps, garden beds, patios, seating, and lighting into your wall. Whatever you need, we’ll design a wall that works for your space and lifestyle.

What to Expect with Lee’s

We take slope stability seriously. Here’s how we get it done right:

  • On-site inspection and slope assessment
  • Proper compaction and base prep
  • Drainage installation behind the wall
  • Clean, professional craftsmanship from start to finish

We don’t cut corners—our walls are built to handle Seattle’s weather and last for decades.


Frequently Asked Questions

How long will a retaining wall last?
With proper materials and installation, retaining walls typically last 20–30+ years—some even longer with proper care.

Can you build on a steep slope?
Absolutely. We specialize in building safe, functional retaining walls on Seattle’s hillsides. We might recommend terraced walls if you’re over 4 feet high to stay within code and reduce permitting needs.

How much does a retaining wall cost?
It depends on the materials, height, length, and site conditions. We offer custom quotes and walk you through your options.
