Retaining Walls and Rockeries in Snohomish
Sloped inclines, mountainous landscapes, and rolling hills are part of the beauty that defines owning property in Snohomish County. However, some properties have too much slanting and sloping, which can become a muddy problem when it rains.
If you live on a property with slopes and inclination, landscaping is awkward, burdensome, and presents troublesome work. If your house is built on a slope, you need excavation services to level the ground, and make it workable.
One solution is to install retaining walls and rockeries. Ivan’s Landscaping and Construction, LLC designs and constructs retaining walls to give your yard a beautiful appearance. Our retaining walls add extra space, dimension, and character while protecting your yard.

Retaining walls are an organized structure of rocks that support the earth and retain soil. A difficulty living in the Pacific Northwest is the abundance of rain that uncontrollably flows through yards due to improper drainage.
Erosion is a threat to your house and property if there is nothing to stop mudslides or water leakage into your house or your neighbor’s yard.
According to seattle.gov and the department of construction & inspections, “A retaining wall is a structure designed to support soil at a steeper angle than the soil could stand on its own; it may or may not be attached to a building. A rockery consists of placed rocks used to control soil erosion.”
Professional retaining wall contractors build walls and rockeries from boulders, rocks, stones, pavers, and concrete blocks. Retaining walls hold back earth that would otherwise fall onto a building or other structure.
Reasons to build a retaining wall
- Retaining walls are functional and arranged uniquely and customizable to your yard. Whether you are looking for a simple way to separate parts of your lawn or add more level space to your sloped terrain, we can modify the design of retaining walls to help you achieve your landscaping goals.
- Retaining walls add extra space for gardens and give your plants, flowers, and vegetation a lift (off the ground) while deterring slugs and rodents from eating your harvest!
- Soil’s movement is inevitable, and without retaining walls, your landscape can become hazardous. Retaining walls help keep your home and the land surrounding it stable by preventing soil from moving.
