· Service Overview

Turn a Georgetown Problem Slope Into a Usable Yard.

Georgetown terrain is rarely flat. Williamson County's rolling landscape means many lots have significant grade changes — and the area's heavy clay soil doesn't help. Sloped lots lose usable space, shed topsoil in Central Texas storm season, and create drainage headaches that get worse every year. A properly built retaining wall solves all three — holding the slope, creating level terraces, and directing water where it belongs.

CTX builds both engineered retaining walls for functional grade change and decorative landscape walls that define beds, borders, and gathering areas. We work in natural limestone — which fits Georgetown's Hill Country character naturally — as well as dry-stacked stone, concrete block, and boulders for larger grade changes.

Every retaining wall over 4 feet includes engineered drainage behind the wall — a detail many crews skip that leads to wall failure within a few years, especially with Georgetown's expansive clay exerting pressure after rain.

· What's Included

From Functional to Decorative.

Engineered Retaining Walls

Walls designed and built to hold grade changes, manage soil pressure, and last decades without movement or lean.

Natural Stone

Limestone, fieldstone, and dry-stacked natural stone walls that fit Georgetown's Hill Country landscape and improve with age.

Concrete Block

Segmental retaining wall block — including Allan Block and Versa-Lok systems — for clean, geometric walls with high structural capacity.

Terracing

Multi-level terracing on slopes creates flat, plantable, usable areas from grade changes that were previously wasted space.

Drainage Integration

Gravel backfill, perforated drain pipe, and outlet points built into every structural wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup.

Decorative Landscape Walls

Low garden walls, bed borders, and seat walls that define outdoor rooms, frame plantings, and add structure to flat yards.

· How It Works

Assessment Through Completion.

Site Assessment

We walk the slope, evaluate soil conditions, measure grade change, and assess drainage patterns to understand what the wall needs to accomplish.

Engineering & Design

Taller walls require engineered drawings. We coordinate with a licensed engineer when required and present material options for your approval.

Excavation

The base trench is excavated to below-grade depth with a compacted gravel base. Proper base prep determines how long the wall lasts.

Build

Courses are set, battered (leaned into the slope) to specification, and drain pipe and gravel backfill are installed as the wall rises.

Backfill & Grade

Compacted fill brings the terrace to finished grade. The site is cleaned, graded for drainage, and ready for turf, planting, or hardscape.

Retaining Wall Questions.

Not sure if you need a retaining wall or what type is right for your yard? We'll assess your site and walk you through your options.

Schedule an Assessment
You need a retaining wall when you have a slope that is eroding, losing topsoil, or creating drainage problems — a common situation on Georgetown's rolling Williamson County lots. Signs include soil washing onto your patio or driveway after Central Texas storm season, visible erosion channels, or a slope too steep to mow safely. If your yard loses significant topsoil every time it rains hard, a retaining wall is likely the right fix.
Yes — always. Water that saturates the soil behind a wall creates hydrostatic pressure that pushes walls outward over time. Every structural retaining wall we build includes gravel backfill and perforated drain pipe that outlets water safely. Walls built without drainage tend to fail within 5–10 years.
We work in natural limestone, dry-stacked fieldstone, concrete segmental retaining wall block (Allan Block, Versa-Lok), and boulders for larger grade changes. Material choice depends on the wall's function, height, and your aesthetic preference. We'll show you options and make a recommendation based on your specific site.
A properly built retaining wall with adequate drainage should last 20–50 years or more depending on materials. Natural stone and concrete block walls built on proper bases with good drainage are essentially permanent. Walls that fail early almost always have inadequate drainage or insufficient base preparation.
