Fenton, MO - Completed Project
This new ranch home had no landscaping out front. The lawn ran right up to the bare foundation. We built a tiered segmental block retaining wall with caps and curved corners on a compacted gravel base, with drainage behind it. Then we filled the raised beds with landscape fabric, decorative gravel, evergreens, shrubs and solar path lights.

A yard looks finished when it has edges: a wall that holds a bed, a step where the ground changes height, a line where the lawn stops. Across St. Louis County, we’ve built front yard walls with raised beds, tiered walls on steep hillsides, curved walls with steps and block walls that replaced old timber and boulders. Here’s how that work looks in Fenton.
Look at where your lawn meets your house. If the grass runs straight up to the foundation, or the soil in your beds washes onto the walk after every rain, nothing is holding that ground in place. Plants alone won’t fix it. They just sit in loose soil that keeps moving.
That’s why we build the structure first. We set segmental block on a compacted gravel base, lock each course onto the row below and finish the top with caps. Every wall we build includes drainage, set up for your site. Then the beds go in behind it, so your soil stays put and the front of your house has a clean, level edge.
Across our retaining wall and landscaping installations in St. Louis County, the same front yard problems come up again and again. Here are the ones we see most often, and how we fix them.
When grass meets your bare foundation, the house looks unfinished, and there’s no place for beds to sit. A low wall across the front gives your beds a raised edge and gives the house a clean line at the bottom.
Bare soil and mulch need work every spring. Decorative gravel over landscape fabric keeps most weeds out, and evergreens stay green through the winter. Your beds look finished all year without a weekend of upkeep.
Even a short wall holds back soil that gets wet. With no way out, that water pushes on the block until the wall leans. Every wall needs drainage behind it, set up for where the water on your lot actually goes.

We build segmental block walls with caps, tiered walls that split a steep slope into levels, curved walls with block steps, natural stone walls and low walls that hold raised beds. Many jobs replace a wall that has worn out, from railroad ties to loose boulders. We’re a Unilock and Keystone authorized contractor. In Fenton, we built a tiered block wall with curved corners across the front of a new home.
Yes. Every retaining wall we build is backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. It covers the wall itself, along with the rest of our hardscaping, such as patios and drainage.
Yes. Plan the structure first: where your beds go, whether a low wall should hold them, and how the edges meet the grass. Walls, base and drainage go in first, then fabric, gravel and plants. Doing it in that order means nothing gets dug up later. On the Fenton new build, the wall and caps went in first, and the gravel, evergreens, shrubs and solar lights went in after.
