“We had a steep slope behind our house in Ahwatukee that was starting to erode pretty badly. Phoenix Retaining Wall came out and built this beautiful natural stone retaining wall, about 20 feet long and 4 feet high. The craftsmanship is incredible, and they finished the whole job in just under two weeks. Our yard is finally stable and looks amazing.”
Boulder & Natural Stone Walls
“Had them install a segmental block wall along our property line in Scottsdale. Three-person crew, super professional, and they left the site cleaner than when they started. The wall is perfectly level and looks great against our desert landscaping.”
Block & Segmental Retaining Walls
“Needed a concrete retaining wall to prevent soil runoff on our sloped backyard. Phoenix Retaining Wall assessed the drainage situation and installed the wall with proper slope stabilization. It's held up perfectly through the monsoon season, and I'm confident it'll last for years. Highly impressed with their attention to drainage details.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“Our old timber retaining wall was leaning and falling apart after 15 years. I was worried about the cost, but Phoenix Retaining Wall gave us an honest assessment and repaired it for less than I expected. They reinforced the structure and improved the drainage. Still holding strong three months later.”
Retaining Wall Repair
“After last summer's heavy rains, we had serious erosion problems on our north-facing slope. Phoenix Retaining Wall installed a combination stone and drainage system that completely stopped the washout. The crew was efficient, finished in about 10 days, and the slope looks natural and stable now.”
Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control
“Our old railroad tie retaining wall was rotting and needed to go. These guys replaced it with a new timber wall using quality materials, and they handled all the old material removal and site cleanup. The new wall looks fresh and is built to last. Worth every penny.”

When Phoenix homeowners search for a retaining wall contractor near me, Phoenix Retaining Wall is the local crew they find and trust. We design, install, repair, and replace retaining walls on sloped and hillside lots across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and the surrounding area.
Our region brings real challenges: expansive clay soil that swells with winter rain, steep cut-and-fill lots, and saturated backfill that is the number one cause of wall failure. Every wall we build is engineered around drainage first. Request a free estimate and we'll assess your slope with no obligation.
Retaining wall repair is where we see the most urgent calls. A leaning or bowing wall is almost always a drainage problem: water trapped in saturated backfill builds hydrostatic pressure, and expansive clay soil pushes the wall outward, especially after heavy winter rain.
Cracking, bulging, sinking, and settling follow from clogged or missing weep holes and French drains, an undersized footing, or poor compaction. Small movement rarely stops on its own, and a minor lean can become a collapse once soil is fully saturated. Call us at (480) 494-4792 and we'll take a look.
We diagnose the real cause, correct the drainage, and rebuild only what's needed. Contact us to discuss your wall.
Phoenix Retaining Wall builds with the full range of materials and matches each to your site: segmental block and SRW systems (Allan Block, Versa-Lok, Keystone), poured concrete and reinforced CMU for tall or surcharge-bearing walls, boulder and natural stone that drains through the gaps, and pressure-treated timber for low garden beds. Taller walls get geogrid reinforcement, and every wall is built with gravel backfill and working drainage.

Retaining walls in Phoenix are typically quoted per square foot of wall face, and typical ranges depend on the material, wall height, drainage and excavation, site access, and whether engineering is required. A low block garden wall on level ground sits at the bottom of the range; a tall engineered hillside wall with tiebacks sits well above it. Final pricing depends on site conditions, so visit our pricing page or request a free on-site estimate.
In most jurisdictions, a retaining wall permit is tied to height and load. Commonly, walls over about four feet measured from the footing require a permit, and a wall supporting a surcharge such as a driveway or structure often needs one at a lower height, along with engineered drawings. Thresholds, fees, and setback rules vary by city, so none of this should be treated as a fixed rule. Phoenix Retaining Wall can advise on what the process typically looks like for your project. Requirements vary, so always verify with the Phoenix building or planning department before starting your project. Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.
