Turning Slopes Into Usable Space

Sloped yards are part of life in Monument. Poured concrete retaining walls let you carve out level space for a patio, lawn, or garden, while holding back soil and managing runoff. Sitting walls are shorter walls built at a comfortable seat height. They’re perfect around patios and fire pits, giving you extra seating without cluttering the space with furniture. Every wall we build includes proper footings, reinforcement, and drainage behind the wall, so water doesn’t build up pressure and push it out of place.

Why Drainage Behind the Wall Matters

Water trapped behind a wall adds a lot of pressure, and when it freezes, that pressure gets worse. Snowmelt on Monument slopes can load up a wall quickly, so we always include drainage gravel and outlets to relieve it.

Sitting Walls Around Patios

A sitting wall is one of the easiest ways to make a patio feel finished. It adds seating, defines the space, and can wrap around a fire feature. Pair it with a new concrete patio for a complete outdoor living area.

Poured Concrete or Block?

Poured walls offer a clean, modern look and great strength. If you prefer the look of block or want a different texture, masonry and block walls are another great option.
