Retaining Walls & Waterfalls

No. 1 Outdoor Water Features & Retaining Wall Contractors in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area

Create & customize your own private oasis outdoors!

Retaining walls are generally built to retain soil or provide drainage control. However, they also provide aesthetic and landscape design functions. A courtyard wall around a patio can serve as additional seating and retaining walls can be built to gain additional space in your yard by transforming hills into usable space.

We make every retaining wall functional and aesthetically satisfying, blending the shapes, textures, materials, and colors to complement your architecture and landscape. We have the knowledge and experience to build any size retaining wall expertly.

At McFall Masonry, we also enjoy building beautiful water features. Our rock or brick construction depends on the style of your landscape and whether or not your water feature sits at your pond's edge or flows directly into a pond. We're eager to design and build out a custom outdoor water feature to match your style, your land, and your wildest dreams

Retaining Wall & Waterfall Contractor FAQs

What Are the Best Retaining Wall Materials for Outdoor Spaces?

The best materials depend on your design and functional needs. Options include:

  • Natural Stone: For a timeless, organic look.
  • Poured Concrete: Ideal for durability and modern designs.
  • Concrete Block: A cost-effective, versatile option for various retaining wall designs.

We help you choose materials tailored to your retaining wall project, ensuring longevity and aesthetic appeal.

How Does Proper Drainage Impact Retaining Wall Longevity?

Proper drainage prevents water from pooling behind the wall, which can cause cracks, bulges, or collapse. A well-designed retaining wall system includes gravel backfill, weep holes, and other drainage features to protect against soil erosion and extend the wall's lifespan.

Can Water Features Be Incorporated Into a Retaining Wall Design?

Yes, we specialize in integrating water features like waterfalls or water gardens into retaining walls. These additions enhance the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces, creating a seamless blend of structure and nature. We design systems that balance aesthetics with durability.

What Are the Key Steps in Building a Retaining Wall?

Building a retaining wall involves:

  • Planning and adhering to local building codes: Ensuring compliance with regulations for a safe and approved installation.
  • Selecting the right retaining wall material: Options like retaining wall pavers or stones tailored to your aesthetic and functional needs.
  • Preparing the site with proper drainage: Preventing soil erosion and ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • Laying a sturdy base: At least 12 inches deep for enhanced stability and durability.
  • Years of experience: We deliver retaining wall installations that are durable and meet all specifications.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing a Contractor With Years of Experience?

An experienced contractor ensures your retaining wall project meets safety, aesthetic, and functional requirements. From selecting the right types of retaining walls to precise installation, we deliver long-term solutions backed by expertise in retaining wall design, material selection, and local building code compliance.

Caleb Francis's Rating
Dan and team did a fantastic job for us. We had them extend our driveway quite a bit and add stone around our flower gardens. They gave us a fair price, communicated well, and completed the work very timely with excellence. Highly recommend. Caleb Francis
Joe Riggs's Rating
Quality, detailed work. Dan and team built our custom firepit. It perfectly matches our existing brick. We had a minor issue pop up a few months after completing the job but they took care of it in less than 24 hours; they stand behind their work! Highly recommend. Joe Riggs
