Essential Structure. Decorative Innovation.

Mastering Grade Control & Elevation Changes

A retaining wall is fundamentally about managing the earth. When your yard features significant elevation changes, a properly engineered wall provides essential grade control and robust soil retention. Without this structural support, your property is vulnerable to severe soil erosion, shifting foundations, and washed-out planting beds.

At Fox Landscape, our five decades of experience allow us to build durable walls that expertly carve out usable, level spaces in your yard, transforming steep, unusable hillsides into stunning gardens and outdoor living areas.

Premium Materials: Stone Retaining Walls

Because we cater strictly to high-end design-build projects, our team does not pour concrete or build timber walls. Traditional materials often crack, rot, or fail due to the harsh freeze-thaw cycles in Illinois. Instead, Fox Landscape exclusively builds using premium pavers and natural stone.

Whether you prefer the clean lines of a modular stone retaining wall or the rustic, timeless elegance of a natural stone retaining wall or stacked stone retaining wall, we ensure your investment provides superior flexibility, unmatched durability, and a luxurious finish.

Comprehensive Replacements vs. Retaining Wall Repair

When homeowners search for retaining wall repair, they are often dealing with a failing, leaning, or crumbling structure. At Fox Landscape, we do not provide temporary patch jobs. Instead, we offer comprehensive replacement services. Our professional retaining wall contractors expertly dismantle the failing wall, correct the underlying grading and hidden drainage issues, and rebuild a proper, lasting foundation and wall.

Bringing Your Retaining Wall to Life: Landscape Enhancements

A retaining wall is not complete without the softscapes that surround it. Fox Landscape seamlessly integrates your new wall with tailored landscape enhancements to create a unified aesthetic.

  • Mulch & Decorative Rock: We finish the elevated beds behind your wall with premium mulch or decorative rock, ensuring proper moisture control and a clean, polished look.
  • Hand-Selected Plantings: We soften the hard lines of the stone by installing vibrant seasonal annuals, perennials, shrubs, and ornamental trees.
  • Sod Restoration: Once the heavy installation is complete, we perform expert sod restoration and aeration to ensure your surrounding lawn looks pristine.

What Makes Us the Best Retaining Wall Contractor?

Fox Landscape brings a client-focused approach to every project, treating your property with the exact same care and respect as we do our own. You gain direct access to our ownership team, benefiting from decades of high-end landscaping expertise and business-level professionalism.

The Fox Landscape team respects your time and your property. Once our uniformed, professional crews begin your project, we do not bounce between multiple jobs. We remain on-site on consecutive days until your retaining wall is 100% complete.

After your design is approved and a down payment is made, we offer a unique experience: we take you directly to a local nursery to hand-select and tag the exact plants and materials that will be installed around your new wall.

Our Clients’ Most Asked Retaining Wall Questions

Do you use poured concrete for your retaining walls?

No, we specialize strictly in high-end hardscaping and do not pour concrete. We build all of our structural and decorative walls using premium block, pavers, and natural stone to ensure maximum durability and luxury.

Will my yard be torn up by equipment all summer?

Absolutely not. Because of our agile point of singularity approach, we typically schedule your project within a short timeframe that fits into your lifestyle. Once our crews start digging to correct your elevation changes, we stay focused on your property for consecutive days until the installation is finished.

Can you incorporate a retaining wall into a new patio design?

Yes. Retaining walls and seating walls are natural inclusions in our comprehensive outdoor living designs. We seamlessly tie your new retaining walls into custom paver patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features to create one cohesive master plan.
