We offer the following types of retaining walls:
Sloam stone: (dry stacked, brown and tan in color, more of a square/rectangle style)
Boulder: Natural stones of Colorado and come in various colors, sizes and shapes. Note: this wall must have fabric behind it in order to have integrity as well as be long lasting. Water behind this wall will erode the wall quickly.
Segmental: A segmental wall is "Man made", this style wall comes in various colors and a couple manufactures. This wall depending on the style would need a cap stone on the final top tier to enhance its look.
Note: With all retaining walls, you need to make sure of the water, water is the key factor in building of retaining walls. Hydrostatic pressure caused by water behind any retaining wall can cause the retaining wall to fail.

Boulder retaining wall was built in Tri-Lakes around a parking lot. This wall was to prevent erosion as well as to hold back the earth around the parking area. Boulder retaining walls need to have fabric placed behind them so that the wall itself doesn't erode and the integrity isn't lost. We installed several pipes to allow the water to get out from behind the wall.
