Retaining Walls
Strength, Stability, and Clean Visual Structure
At Skowronek Landscaping & Excavating, we build retaining walls that offer both stability and curb appeal. Whether you need to hold back a hillside, create usable space, or define clean property lines, our walls are designed to perform and built to last.
From engineered block walls to natural boulder solutions, we combine excavation expertise with craftsmanship that complements your landscape. Every wall is installed with proper base prep, drainage, and compaction. No shortcuts. No guesswork.
What We Offer
We build retaining wall systems with premium materials, structural precision, and thoughtful design:
-
Engineered Block Walls - Clean, modular walls built using trusted systems like Versa‑Lok and Rosetta Stone — ideal for strength and uniform beauty.
-
Boulder Retaining Walls - Natural, rugged stone stacked for a durable, earthy, and timeless finish.
-
Freestanding Decorative Walls - Perfect for defining outdoor rooms, garden borders, or seating edges with aesthetic impact.
-
Integrated Wall Lighting - Discreet, built-in lighting to enhance safety and nighttime ambiance around walls.
-
Structural Base Preparation - Proper excavation, drainage stone layering, and soil compaction — ensuring your wall stays strong for decades.
-
Integrated Drainage Systems - Geogrid reinforcement, behind-wall piping, and smart backfill to prevent water pressure, shifting, or failure.
Why It Matters
A retaining wall is only as strong as what is beneath it. Poor construction leads to bulging, shifting, or early failure, especially in Western Pennsylvania’s freeze and thaw climate. That is why we focus on correct base depth, drainage, and material quality from day one.
Whether you are protecting a foundation, leveling a slope, or transforming your yard, we build the structure your project depends on.
