Segmental Retaining Walls

Segmental retaining walls provide a practical way to manage slopes, create usable areas, control grade changes, and add structure to a landscape. Wind River Stone Scapes, Inc. designs and installs segmental retaining wall systems for residential and commercial properties in Pinedale and throughout Greater Wyoming.

Unlike traditional poured concrete or mortared masonry walls, segmental retaining walls are constructed with interlocking concrete units engineered to work together as a complete wall system. Depending on the height, site conditions, soil, drainage, and loads behind the wall, the installation may also incorporate compacted aggregate, drainage components, and geogrid reinforcement.

Retaining Walls Designed for the Site

A successful retaining wall starts with understanding the conditions it needs to handle. Before construction, we consider the existing grade, slope, drainage patterns, surrounding structures, access, and how the finished area will be used. These factors help determine the appropriate wall layout and construction requirements.

Segmental retaining walls can be used to support raised planting areas, stabilize changes in elevation, create terraces, define driveways and outdoor living spaces, or make sloped portions of a property more functional. A wide selection of block styles, sizes, textures, and colors also makes it possible to coordinate the wall with patios, walkways, steps, and other hardscape features.

Proper preparation and drainage are especially important in Wyoming, where seasonal moisture, freezing temperatures, and freeze-thaw cycles can place additional stress on improperly constructed walls. Our team focuses on building a stable base and managing water behind the wall so the finished installation is designed for lasting performance.

Our retaining walls and steps are installed with a stacked stone appearance. All maintenance-free!

WRSS takes very seriously the construction of a retaining wall.

A retaining wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil when there is a desired change in ground elevation.

Unless the wall is designed to retain water, it is important to have proper drainage behind the wall in order to limit the pressure to the wall's design value. Drainage materials will reduce or eliminate the hydrostatic pressure and improve the stability of the material behind the wall.

WRSS offers a large choice of colors and patterns, as well!
