Function Meets Style in Your Landscape
Looking to add structure and beauty to your yard? Sitting walls and retaining walls offer practical solutions while enhancing your outdoor design. Whether you’re leveling a sloped yard, preventing erosion, or adding built-in seating, Carballo Brothers Landscaping and Tree Service builds walls that are strong, stylish, and built to last.
Our walls serve both function and form—supporting your landscape, defining spaces, and offering extra seating or visual interest. As a family-owned local business, we bring expert craftsmanship and personal service to every job.
What Do Sitting Wall & Retaining Wall Installations Include?
Our process is tailored to fit your property, preferences, and structural needs. Here’s what to expect:
- Design Planning & Consultation: We assess your yard, drainage patterns, and goals, then design walls that fit your style and solve your landscape challenges. From curved seat walls to tiered retaining systems, we customize everything.
- Site Preparation & Excavation: We clear vegetation, grade the slope, and dig a proper foundation. This step ensures the wall will stay level, drain properly, and resist pressure over time.
- Wall Construction: Using high-quality block, natural stone, or brick, we build your wall layer by layer with reinforcement and drainage in mind. Our methods follow industry standards for long-term durability.
- Finishing Touches: We add caps, lighting, or integrated seating where requested. Then we clean the site, check the wall for final stability, and walk you through maintenance and care.
Whether you’re supporting a hillside or creating a backyard lounge area, we build walls that work and wow.
When Should You Add a Wall to Your Landscape?
Walls aren’t just for holding back soil. Here are a few signs it might be time to consider one:
- You Have Erosion or Drainage Issues: Retaining walls help redirect runoff, hold soil in place, and reduce erosion on slopes. They prevent water from damaging your foundation, lawn, or garden beds after heavy rain.
- Your Yard Has a Slope or Drop: Sloped areas are hard to use and mow. A retaining wall creates flat terraces that expand your usable space and make your yard safer and more accessible.
- You Want Built-In Seating: Sitting walls are a beautiful way to add permanent, low-maintenance seating around firepits, patios, or garden beds. They’re durable, stylish, and always ready for company.
- You Need a Clean, Defined Layout: Walls help define spaces in your landscape. They separate garden beds, walkways, or entertainment areas while giving your yard a polished, organized look.
Walls are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to both the function and look of your property.
