block & stone retaining walls
Your Local Burleson Retaining Wall Contractor
A retaining wall does real work. It holds back tons of soil, keeps a slope from washing into your yard and turns an unusable hillside into flat space for a patio, a lawn or a garden. Built right, it looks great for decades. Built wrong, it leans, bulges and cracks within a few seasons.
Maverick Lawn & Landscaping offers retaining wall installation in Burleson, TX for homeowners who want a wall that stays straight. Burleson’s heavy clay soil holds water and swells when it’s wet, and that pressure is what pushes most failed walls over. So every wall we build starts with a compacted base, a buried first course, gravel backfill and a way for water to get out.
Retaining Walls We Build
From low garden walls to walls that level a sloped backyard, every one is planned around what it has to hold back.
Block Retaining Walls
Interlocking concrete block walls: strong, uniform and available in several colors and textures. The go-to choice for slopes, erosion control and longer walls, and for low walls around patios and pool decks that hold back rock beds and double as seating.
Natural Stone Walls
Limestone and natural stone walls for a classic Texas look that blends into the landscape, from front-yard retaining walls with a flat cap to garden walls and cut-stone borders.
Raised Garden Bed Walls
Raised beds along the house or around the yard that lift your plantings, define the space and help with drainage near the foundation.
Tree Rings & Borders
Stone and block rings and borders that hold mulch and soil in place around trees and beds, and keep mowers and string trimmers off the trunk.
Block vs. Natural Stone Retaining Walls
Both make strong walls when they’re built right. Here’s how to choose.
| Concrete Block | Natural Stone | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Clean, uniform rows in several colors and textures | Natural, varied stone with a classic Texas look |
| Strength | Interlocking units; can be reinforced for taller walls | Very durable; best for low and medium walls |
| Best For | Slopes, longer walls, terraces and seating walls | Garden walls, raised beds and borders |
| Curves | Easy to build smooth curves | Great for organic, free-form shapes |
| Cost | Usually the more affordable option per foot | Usually costs more, depending on the stone |

Why Choose Maverick for Your Retaining Wall
What’s underground decides how long a wall lasts, so that’s where we spend our time: a dug-in, compacted base, a first row set below grade, clean gravel behind the wall and drain pipe where the wall needs it. Taller walls get stepped back into the slope and reinforced, and we’ll tell you up front if a wall needs an engineered design.
We’re also a full landscaping crew, so the project is finished when we leave: the soil behind the wall graded, and the area planted, rocked, mulched or sodded. Building on the flat space your wall creates? We can plan a new patio at the same time.
Our Retaining Wall Installation Process
Plan & Measure
We look at the slope, the soil and where water goes, then plan the wall’s length, height and material.
Dig & Base
We dig the trench, compact a crushed-stone base and level it, then bury the first course.
Stack & Backfill
Each row is set, leveled and stepped back, with gravel backfill and drainage behind the wall as it goes up.
Cap & Landscape
Caps go on, the soil is graded behind the wall, and we finish the area with plants, rock, mulch or sod.

Retaining Wall FAQs
Answers to the questions Burleson homeowners ask us most about retaining walls.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Burleson, TX?
Retaining walls are usually priced by the face area of the wall. The total depends on the length and height, the material, how much excavation the site needs, the drainage behind the wall and how easy the area is to reach. We look at your slope in person and give you a free, itemized quote.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Burleson?
It depends on the wall. Cities in North Texas commonly require a permit and an engineered design for taller walls (often over about 4 feet) or walls that hold up a driveway, building or other load. We’ll check what your wall needs before we start.
What is the best material for a retaining wall?
For most slopes and longer walls, interlocking concrete block is strong, affordable and easy to build in curves. Natural stone is great for garden walls, raised beds and borders where you want a natural look. We’ll recommend the right one for your yard.
How long will my retaining wall last?
A block or stone wall built on a compacted base with gravel backfill and drainage can last for decades. Most walls that fail early were built without drainage or a proper base, which is why we never skip either.
Why do retaining walls lean or crack?
Usually because water gets trapped behind the wall. Wet clay soil pushes hard, and without gravel backfill and drainage that pressure tips the wall forward. A weak base or a wall built too tall for its design are the other common causes.
Can you replace an old timber or failing retaining wall?
Yes. We can remove an old timber, block or stone wall that’s leaning or rotting and replace it with a properly built block or stone wall with drainage behind it.
How long does it take to build a retaining wall?
Most residential retaining walls take a few days to about a week, depending on the length and height of the wall, the material and how much digging the site needs. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote.
Can a retaining wall fix drainage or erosion problems?
A retaining wall can stop soil from washing down a slope and create flat areas that slow water down. We plan the drainage behind and around the wall at the same time, so water is moved away from your yard and foundation instead of trapped.
Do you build raised garden beds and seating walls?
Yes. We build raised bed walls along homes and around yards, plus low seating walls around patios and pool decks, in both block and natural stone.
Do you landscape around the new wall?
Yes. As a full landscaping company, we can plant, add rock or mulch, lay sod or build a patio on the flat space your wall creates, so the whole area is finished at once.
