24 Hours
Emergency Services
Not every yard is flat, and not every slope is stable. That’s where a retaining wall makes the difference—holding back soil, preventing erosion, and giving your landscape a clean, usable layout. At Hammerhead Renovation & Repair, we design and build retaining walls that aren’t just functional—they add structure and curb appeal to your property.
We build walls for homes across Montgomery, Conroe, Magnolia, Willis, The Woodlands, and surrounding areas.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build
- Timber Walls – affordable, classic look, best for shorter walls and garden borders
- Block & Segmental Walls – interlocking concrete block systems, durable and versatile
- Natural Stone Walls – stacked or mortared, timeless and custom for high-end landscapes
- Poured Concrete Walls – clean, modern, built for strength and longevity
- Decorative Walls –combinations of materials, capstones, curves, and terraces
Why Retaining Walls Fail (and How We Build Them Right)
Too many retaining walls lean, crack, or collapse because the build ignored the basics. We make sure to:
- Dig proper footing – depth and width sized for soil and wall height
- Backfill with drainage – gravel and filter fabric so water doesn’t push the wall over
- Install drain pipe – weep holes or French drains to relieve hydrostatic pressure
- Reinforce correctly – geogrid and tie-backs where needed for taller walls
- Finish clean – capstones, proper slope, and transitions into landscaping
The difference is a wall that holds firm through Texas rains instead of one that tips in a year.
Our Process
- Site Evaluation – Check grade, soil, water flow, and purpose of the wall.
- Design & Estimate – Material options, height, length, and finishes priced line by line.
- Excavation & Base – Dig to depth, compact base material, and set the first course level.
- Wall Construction – Layer, reinforce, backfill, and drain as we build.
- Finish & Landscaping – Capstones, grading, cleanup, and tying into your yard.
Small garden walls can be built in a few days. Larger, engineered walls may take a week or more.

Properly built, a retaining wall can last decades. Timber: 15–20 years; block/stone/concrete: 30+ years.
Yes. Without drainage, walls fail. We always include gravel backfill and drain pipe.
Sometimes. If the base or drainage is bad, a rebuild may be better long-term.
Most residential walls are under 4 feet. Taller walls may need engineering and permits.
