Sitting walls provide unique, stone seating options. We install sitting walls so clients have accommodation options for residents. Sitting walls are typically situated around fire pits and patios. This way, residents and visitors can have unique, natural stone seating options.
Unlike retaining walls, they are typically two-sided wall units. These two-sided wall units, as opposed to one-sided wall units, are ensuring the final product looks appealing.

Our functional retaining walls help control soil erosion and level out slopes in uneven areas of your yard. Retaining walls offer great structural support in areas that receive particularly great amounts of rain or snow. They hold soil in place and minimize the risk of severe structural damages. Without a retaining wall, your home’s foundation is more prone to deterioration over time.

If your specific area requires permitting to have your retaining wall installed, we take care of that. You don’t have to worry about acquiring special permission. Our professional staff at Green Scapes Unlimited coordinates all of the details to make sure your retaining wall goes up in accordance with your area’s requirements.

A timber retaining wall is primarily constructed with wood rather than stone. We can install a timber retaining wall for your property, but we only do so in certain circumstances. We work with you to determine if a timber retaining wall will fit with your particular landscape. Decorative retaining walls are more for aesthetic purposes. It generally sits low around a specific landscape feature. It shouldn’t be relied on for structural support, but it can be used to elevate your landscape’s planting beds.

Common Materials:

Typically, we use interlocking blocks to build our retaining and seating walls. Explore some of the common materials we use to build your retaining or seating wall:
Concrete blocks and pavers
Concrete blocks and pavers can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, hail, and snow. Additionally, there is a lot of versatility available with pavers. Pavers come in an array of sizes, colors, and textures so you can plan the perfect look for your landscape.
Boulders
Boulders are one of the most popular materials used for retaining and seating walls. They can tolerate significant levels of erosion and still stand firmly. One kind we offer is limestone boulders, which are made up of sand, silt, and clay. They offer a natural look that will complement your landscape.
Stacked stones
We offer both mortared and unmortared stacked stones. While both are sturdy options, mortared stones typically do a better job of withstanding the outdoor elements.
