We have many years of experience in hardscaping and more importantly a lot of installed projects ranging from paver patios, artificial turf, driveways, retaining walls, seat walls, garden walls, drainage, fences, decks. You will not find better craftsmanship anywhere and we keep our pricing low because we are not interested in becoming a huge company that pays big salaries for project managers / architects / excessive office people. Our process starts with a FREE estimate a sketch design to scale and will provide a detailed proposal before we leave the appointment, there is no waiting. Our install schedule never gets too far out from us because we know how important it is to have that balance with clients. Who wants to throw down a deposit and wait 3-6 months sometimes longer!? We are 3-4 weeks out year round with 3 crews working hard.

"We had a large backyard project completed by ND Brick Pavers at the end of 2021 (Jose and Ryan were our main contacts). We had a really frustrating experience of poor communication and work not being done as requested. We had a lot of back and forth and yet still did not get the result we wanted. Ultimately, the main things we were concerned about came to fruition--there are pavers that are wobbly and not level, there are pavers that create a bowl and trap water creating lakes in our patio and our grass area is basically a swimming pool all winter because they did not provide adequate drainage despite our repeated encouragement/concern. Our fence is now being damaged due to their workmanship putting pressure on it, leading to more money needing to be spent down the road. Despite their "warranty", they have not returned multiple emails from me saying I'd like to discuss the issues. All in all, it is very frustrating to have spent so much money (and time) on a project only to have it do"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Yelm, WA

A well-built retaining wall can absolutely boost home value. By carving out level space, preventing erosion, and giving your yard a clean, layered look, you raise both curb appeal and usable square footage. Home appraisers estimate a 100% to 200% return on the money you spend on building a retaining wall, especially when you choose durable materials and a design that complements the house.

Material and craftsmanship dictate how long a retaining wall lasts. Expect five to 20 years from wood, 20 to 100 from metal, 50 to 100 from concrete, and up to 200 from stone. Choose quality materials, hire an experienced installer, and schedule routine maintenance, and you’ll squeeze the maximum life out of any wall.

Yes, retaining walls require a drainage system. Without proper drainage, water builds up behind the wall and can push it forward or crack the blocks. Most pros add gravel trenches, perforated pipes, and weep holes to move rainwater and groundwater away. This simple step relieves pressure, protects the foundation, and keeps the surrounding soil in place.

Most retaining walls go up in one to three weeks. Crews start by prepping and grading the site, then pour or set footings, stack the blocks, and finish with backfill and clean-up. Bad weather, complicated terrain, or permit holdups can stretch the schedule, but an experienced contractor will build slack into the timeline and keep you informed.
