Retaining Walls & Steps

Grade changes need structure. Garden and Gravel builds retaining walls and stone steps that hold soil, manage drainage, and create usable outdoor levels — finished with materials that complement your interlock and landscaping.

Retaining Walls That Work Hard

Whether you need a low garden wall or a taller structural retain, we plan base, drainage, and setback so the wall performs through freeze–thaw seasons common in Durham.

Steps That Connect Levels Safely

Interlock or block steps make elevation changes comfortable and safe. We size risers and treads for outdoor use and align finishes with adjacent patios and walkways.

Erosion Control and Curb Appeal

Walls and steps do more than hold dirt — they frame plantings, define outdoor rooms, and give sloped yards a polished, intentional look.

We treat walls and steps as structural outdoor architecture, not afterthoughts — so they stay straight, drain well, and look intentional.
