Retaining Walls in
Sewickley Hills
Sewickley Hills is a small hilltop borough where almost every residential lot has at least one significant grade change. The properties demand walls — for parking pads, walkout basements, pool surrounds, and the terraced gardens that make the most of these hilltop views. Done right, those walls disappear into the landscape; done wrong, they're the first thing you see.
What we build for Sewickley Hills homeowners
Segmental Block Walls
Versa-Lok and Allan Block walls — the modern standard for residential properties.
Boulder Walls
Natural stone walls that complement the local landscape character.
Poured Concrete
Engineered concrete walls when you need maximum height or strength.
Engineered Tall Walls
Walls over 4 ft requiring stamped engineering — we handle permits and PE coordination.
Why Sewickley Hills needs walls done right
Hilltop lots have a particular drainage challenge: water comes from above the wall in addition to behind it. We design Sewickley Hills walls with surface grading that diverts uphill runoff before it ever reaches the wall, plus proper backfill drainage for what does make it through. It costs a little more upfront and saves a wall replacement two decades later. We also coordinate carefully with your existing landscape so the wall enhances the view rather than blocking it.
